This practicum was designed and implemented to instruct the staff of two elementary schools in the basic content of the metric system and to demonstrate some teaching strategies for instructing elementary students in metrics. A series of twenty after-school workshops was run on a weekly basis. A model was developed to aid other elementary schools…

Students in grades four and eight were given parallel forms of mathematics subtests of Iowa Tests of Basic Skills, once using calculators and once without. Performance with calculators was compared to performance on regular administration of subtests. In both grades, mean scores on problem solving and computation subtests were significantly higher…

ANOVA and Profile analysis were employed to compare the computational skills of high and low ability sixth graders during a decade of efforts to individualize instruction. Comparison of lowest ability subgroups demonstrated no differences with statistical significance in their computational skills. There were statistically significant differences…

This math workbook in the Navajo language contains vocabulary designed to introduce a few pre-mathematical concepts to the child before she is presented with mathematical concepts in a classroom situation. The terms "least,""most,""many," and "few" are introduced. Initially, each concept is introduced individually. Later on, different concepts are…

Outlines of five sessions of the Metric Leader Training Project for Maine are included in this publication. Topics are: (1) Introduction - Length - Temperature; (2) Volume/Capacity - Mass/Weight; (3) Metric Advocacy - Length - Area - Temperature; (4) Metric Education Resources; and (5) Metric Education Planning - Metric Olympics - Final…

Fourteen research reports related to mathematics education are abstracted and analyzed. Two of the reports deal with teacher education, two with problem solving, three with basic operations, and one each with learning disabled students, rational numbers, proportional reasoning, counting, teacher effectiveness, group cooperation on mathematical…

This is the teacher's edition of a text for the second year of a two-year high school geometry course. The course bases plane and solid geometry and trigonometry on the fact that the translations of a Euclidean space constitute a vector space which has an inner product. Congruence is a geometric topic reserved for Volume 2. Volume 2 opens with an…

This set of five reports and one manual is a product of the Mathemagenic Activities Program (MAP) for early childhood education of the University of Georgia Follow Through Program. Based on Piagetian theory, the MAP provides sequentially structured sets of curriculum materials and processes that are designed to continually challenge children in…
