This booklet, one of a series has been developed for the project, A Program for Mathematically Underdeveloped Pupils. A project team, including inservice teachers, is being used to write and develop the materials for this program. The materials developed in this booklet include the idea of reciprocals, and counting fractional parts. Several…

This programed mathematics textbook is for student use in vocational education courses. It was developed as part of a programed series covering 21 mathematical competencies which were identified by university researchers through task analysis of several occupational clusters. The development of a sequential content structure was also based on…

This paper reports on the answers indicated by research studies to nine questions concerning the teaching of multiplication and division. (1) Should multiplication facts be memorized? Answer: Yes, at an appropriate time. (2) How should multiplication be conceptualized? Answer: Normally addition of equal addends; sometimes arrays or…

A word problem is more difficult to solve when the minimum number of different operations to reach the correct solution is large, when it is of a different type than a problem preceding it, when the indexed complexity of its most complex sentence is great, when there are a large number of words in the problem, and when a conversion of units (as…

Reported is the construction of a primary mathematics curriculum on two kinds of data: the structure of mathematics itself, and the developmental realities of the child. Principles which have been assumed in this development are (1) since mathematics is abstract, the process of abstracting mathematics must be well prepared, (2) since mathematics…

This document details the procedures and results of a 1964-66 evaluation of volunteering middle-class suburban New York schools with primary classes nongraded in reading and arithmetic. The evaluation is more than a comparison of pupil progress in nongraded and graded classes; other variables are also correlated in the areas of school…

These materials were written with the aim of reflecting the thinking of The Cambridge Conference on School Mathematics (CCSM) regarding the goals and objectives for school mathematics. Presented are plans for teaching 15 inequality lessons for above average first grade students. The discovery approach is utilized by the teacher in order to involve…

Investigated was the effect of skill-level grouping on student achievement in mathematics in a Negro neighborhood elementary school. The investigation was conducted in the Clark County School District, Nevada, during the 1968-69 school year. The mathematics program in the control school was organized and taught in self-contained classrooms by the…
