This manual was designed for use with the last of five texts in the Secondary School Advanced Mathematics (SSAM) series. Developed for students who have completed the Secondary School Mathematics (SSM) program and wish to continue their studies in mathematics, this series is designed to review, strengthen, and fill gaps in the material covered in…

This is Part 1 of the second course in a series which focuses on building fundamental mathematical structures. Topics considered in this book include: an introduction to mathematical logic and mathematical proof, a continuation of the study of groups, an introduction to axiomatic affine geometry, fields, the real number system, and coordinate…

This index lists research studies of experimental programs in mathematics education. The references cited are found in several bibliographies and journals. The main purpose of the "Key-Word-In-Context Index and Bibliography" is to facilitate the retrieval of information on research studies in mathematics education. The "Index" and "Bibliography"…

This paper appraises recent developments in the curriculum and teaching of mathematics in the secondary schools and analyzes mathematics education in the United States with particular emphasis on Nebraska. The first section focuses upon characteristics that distinguish the modern secondary school mathematics curriculum from the traditional. The…

The fourth in a series of six guidebooks on minimum course content for second-year algebra, this booklet covers linear and quadratic relations, absolute value, graphing complex numbers, determinants and matrices, graphing quadratic relations, and solving systems of linear and quadratic equations. Overall course goals are specified, a course…

The sixth in a series of six guidebooks on minimum course content for second-year algebra, this booklet presents an introduction to sequences, series, permutation, combinations, and probability. Included are arithmetic and geometric progressions and problems solved by counting and factorials. Overall course goals are specified, a course outline is…

This book is a sequel to MATHEMATICAL CHALLENGES, which was published in 1965. In this sequel are 100 problems, together with their printed solutions. The problems range from those that are quite simple to those that will challenge even the most ardent problem solver, and they include examples from algebra, geometry, number theory, probability,…

Mathematics and science classes integrated computer science activities into the regular secondary curriculum. This document reports the nature of the computer activities used in conjunction with an algebra II class, a physics class and a chemistry class. A computer programing class was also established as a year-long elective course. Success and…

The 1959 Royaumont seminar "New Thinking in School Mathematics," having agreed on the need for modernization, recommended that a second group of experts work out detailed synopses of the entire subject matter of secondary school mathematics. This book is the report of the second seminar and contains the Dubrovnik Program which stimulated…

This is the ninth in a series of ten self-contained units designed for use by students in ninth grade general mathematics classes. This unit is divided into six sections dealing with different concepts involving positive and negative numbers. Some concepts presented include positive and negative integers, addition and subtraction, multiplication,…

This teaching guide outlines a semester course for those students who need review work in concepts from algebra and geometry. Successful completion of this material would serve as a prerequisite to the study of trigonometry. Sequence, textbook references, and time allotments are suggested. Units studied are: the real numbers; operations on the…

This book, photographically reproduced from its original 1942 edition, is an extended essay on one of the three problems of the ancients. The first chapter reduces the problem of trisecting an angle to the solution of a cubic equation, shows that straightedge and compasses constructions can only give lengths of a certain form, and then proves that…
