Major characteristics of seven Title I and Impact Aid components implemented in New York City School District 29 in 1978-79 are described in this evaluation. The components are: (1) an elementary grade Reading Diagnostic Program; (2) a project to raise reading achievement in the intermediate schools; (3) an Early Childhood Center for students in…

This is one of a series of geometry modules developed for use by secondary students in a laboratory setting. The thrust of this module is to introduce the student to transformations by having the student physically transform sets of points. Heavy use of manipulatives is made to aid the student in the transforming activity. Individual sections…

An annual annotated listing of research on mathematics education is presented. The research is organized alphabetically by author(s) within three categories (research summaries, journal-published reports, and dissertation abstracts). Grade and age levels are indicated for each reference. An index of general topics is appended to help readers…

This module, concerned with fractional parts, contains 15 activity sheets, 12 of these involve students in making fractional parts and discovering the relationships of less than, equal to, and greater than, between different fractional parts. The last three sheets are for extending and enriching experiences with fractional parts. Teaching…

THIS DESCRIPTION OF THE EXPERIENCES OF SUCCESSFUL UPWARD BOUND PROJECTS FOR DISADVANTAGED HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS IS COMPILED FROM THE REPORTS OF THE COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES WHO CONDUCTED THESE PROJECTS. MOST OF THE INSTITUTIONS COMMENT ON THEIR LANGUAGE ARTS, MATHEMATICS AND MONEY MANAGEMENT, AND COMMUNICATION SKILLS PROJECTS, AND A FEW DESCRIBE…

THE GENERAL PURPOSES WERE (1) TO INVESTIGATE THE POSSIBILITIES OF PROGRAMING ENTIRE COURSES IN MATHEMATICS AND ENGLISH GRAMMAR AND (2) TO COMPARE DIFFERENT METHODS AND MEDIA, WITH SPECIAL EMPHASIS ON CLOSED-CIRCUIT TELEVISION, FOR PRESENTING PROGRAMED LEARNING MATERIALS. TO ACCOMPLISH THE OBJECTIVES, IT WAS NECESSARY TO ANALYZE THE PROBLEMS OF…

STUDY OBJECTIVES WERE DEVELOPED AROUND THE IDEA THAT DELIBERATE AND PLANNED TEACHING OF FORMAL SYMBOLIC LOGIC WILL BENEFIT THE STUDENT AT ANY AGE BY ENLARGING HIS SCOPE AND PROVIDING FOR A DEEPER AND MORE PENETRATING STUDY OF MATHEMATICS AND OTHER DEDUCTIVELY FORMULATED DISCIPLINES. IT WAS HYPOTHESIZED THAT THE ABLE STUDENT IN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL IS…

Presented is the product of a curriculum project originated in the Mequon-Theinsville Sex Equity Committee, and focusing on mathematics anxiety and avoidance. The project's two major purposes were to: (1) have the district's mathematics instructors become aware of the problem, its implications, consequences, and suggested intervention strategies;…

This document focuses on Core Algebra, a course offered in the Hawaii State Department of Education's "Mathematics Program Guide." This algebra option is designed to be less theoretical and more application-oriented than Algebra IA and IB. The text opens with a list of twenty minimum learner objectives of the course. The next section presents an…

This text is an example of a Selected Mathematics Applications (Level A) course, developed for the Hawaii State Department of Education. There are two basic parts to this document. Section one discusses the approach used to develop this course, and provides a brief description of current alternative materials and resources. No materials were found…

Although many of the word recognition skills needed to read narrative material are applicable to the language of mathematics, other specialized skills are also required to read mathematics materials. Among the factors contributing to students' problems in reading mathematics are the students' interest and motivational level, their readiness for…

In order to discern the manner and determinants of instructional grouping both within and across classrooms of varying characteristics, this investigation employs a "multi level" approach. Specifically, an attempt was made to answer the following questions: How do the expenditure levels of school districts and the economic backgrounds…

Conducted during the 1979-80 school year, this study gathered statistical information as to the success of the developmental mathematics program at Arkansas State University (ASU). The investigation focused on a comparison between Foundation Mathematics students who took Basic Mathematics as a follow-up course and pupils who enrolled in Basic…

This booklet describes 50 Title I programs that have been validated by the Education Division of the Department of Health, Education and Welfare as exemplary. The descriptions, written originally for use in newspapers and by radio and television stations, tell how the programs operate, what makes them successful, and how the students are…

This is one of a series of student booklets designed for use in a bilingual mathematics program in grades 6-8. The general format is to present each page in both Spanish and English. The mathematical topics in this booklet include equivalent fractions, mixed numbers, and multiplication of fractions and mixed numbers. (MK)
