A total of 1,922 pupils participated in this Title I Elementary Secondary Education Act Program, which was designed to improve the reading and/or mathematics skills of the students. The program aimed to serve students in special schools or residential treatment centers in New York City who were in kindergarten through grade 12. The majority of…

This textbook is first in a series of three volumes presenting a mathematics course for junior high school and six-year high schools. This volume covers arithmetic related to home, store, farm, industry, and bank; intuitional and constructive geometry; and introduces algebra. [For Book II, see ED623225. For Book III, see ED623226.]

Strength of four-person protocols as contrasted with the clinical interview and two-person protocols are described in the following areas: identification of odd and idiosyncratic heuristics revealed through reflexive talk; generalizable results that emerge from prolonged discussion; and opportunities to study learning in small groups. The study…

This paper, based on the inquiries of the General Mathematics Project, makes a case for naturalistic research in mathematics classrooms. In explicating the case, consideration is given to the need for information on classroom practices and the consequence of those practices on teaching and learning. Also considered is the need for research that…

Mathematics education research from fourteen studies is abstracted and critiqued in this publication. Six cover aspects of instructional practice, four deal with points in learning theory, two with problem solving, and one each with calculators and sex differences. Research in mathematics education as reported in CIJE and RIE from October to…

The nature of "A Programing Language" (APL) is viewed as unambiguous, consistent, and powerful. It is based on the notion of functions as imperative verbs, and is used by a small but growing number of mathematicians and computer programers. Three areas of mathematical activity are addressed: calculation of arithmetic expressions,…

Twelve research reports related to mathematics education are abstracted and analyzed. Three of the reports deal with aspects of learning theory, two with student characteristics, and one each with calculators, problem solving, secondary mathematics curriculum changes in Australia, sex differences, teaching methods, and tutoring strategies. The…

This handbook provides activities for teachers who wish to provide concrete learning experiences for students in a humanistic environment in a mathematics laboratory program. It is designed to serve as a stimulant to encourage teachers to open their minds and employ their imaginations in developing further activities. It is expected that the…

This document is designed to help teachers become aware of available mathematics films and use them effectively in teaching mathematics. The five main sections cover: (1) Are Mathematics Films Used in Mathematics Classes; (2) Why Use Films in a Mathematics Class; (3) How Should Films be Used; (4) What Mathematics Films Are Currently Available in…

This curriculum guide provides aid in organizing and planning for the mathematical needs of the individual classroom. It is recommended that: (1) each teacher study the entire curriculum to become familiar with the concepts that interlock and blend all the grades together, and (2) all students with average ability master 70% of the skills. The…

This study consists of a review of research on calculator use in both elementary and secondary education. The bulk of this document consists of annotations of the research reviewed, and is categorized under three headings: 1) Calculator Effects on Computational Achievement and Attitude Toward Mathematics; 2) Calculator Effects on Problem Solving…

Accomplishment of the objectives in this training module for Child Development Associate (CDA) trainees will aid trainees in advancing children's physical and intellectual competencies, building children's positive self-concepts and individual strengths, and promoting positive functioning of children and adults in group settings. The contents of…

This document reports on the Radio Mathematics Project (RMP) over a five-year period. In 1973, the United States Agency for International Development (AID) asked the Institute for Mathematical Studies in the Social Sciences (IMSSS) at Stanford University to develop an instructional program with radio as the medium of delivery. IMSSS was to devise…
