Pascale, Pietro J. – 1979
In "Relating Mathematics to the Middle School Child's Real World", multi-faceted learning kits were developed, piloted, field tested, and revised. The kits make heavy use of games, simulations, practical applications of real world math skills, and other activity-oriented strategies. They use a learning cycle approach to help students…

An approach to orbital mechanics, which is accessible to beginning physics students and presupposes no knowledge of calculus, is presented. A theory of orbits is developed for the inverse-square central force law which differs considerably from the usual deductive approach. This document begins with qualitative aspects of solutions, and leads to a…

Goodstein, Madeline P.; Boelke, William W. – 1980
Reported are results from a pilot study evaluating the effectiveness of a high school mathematics course on the applications of proportional calculations for students subsequently enrolled in chemistry. Two effects were investigated: (1) the effect of the course on students' ability to do proportional calculations not explicitly involving chemical…

STANLEY, JULIAN C.; WILEY, DAVID E. – 1962
EXPERIMENTAL PROCEDURES FOR RATING PERSONNEL WERE INVESTIGATED AS USED IN RESEARCH GENERALLY AND FOR USE IN THE EVALUATION OF TEACHERS. HISTORICAL PROBLEMS AND DEVELOPMENTS IN RATING TECHNIQUES WERE PRESENTED AND COMPARED WITH RANKING TECHNIQUES. STATISTICAL TECHNIQUES FOR ANALYSIS OF RATINGS WERE DETAILED AND RELATED TO VARIOUS TYPES OF RATING…

Stevenson, R. D. – 1979
This module is part of a series designed to be used by life science students for instruction in the application of physical theory to ecosystem operation. Most modules contain computer programs which are built around a particular application of a physical process. This module describes heat transfer processes involved in the exchange of heat…

Usiskin, Zalman – 1974
This report is concerned with the observation that many teenagers and adults are unable to apply arithmetic even when they know how to perform the operations. It is speculated that this is probably due to not having been taught when to use the fundamental operations. Examples of types of "real" problems which require the various…

Bridgess, M. Philbrick, Ed. – 1966
This is one in a series of SMSG supplementary and enrichment pamphlets for high school students. This series is designed to make material for the study of topics of special interest to students readily accessible in classroom quantity. Topics covered include the simplest version of the growth of a single population, a more realistic model of one…

LAND, KENNETH C. – 1967
THIS REPORT PRESENTS A DISCUSSION OF 2 TECHNIQUES WHICH CAN BE USED TO REPRESENT AND INTERPRET MULTIVARIATE STATISTICAL SYSTEMS WHEN IT IS FELT THAT THERE ARE CAUSAL RELATIONS BETWEEN SOME OF THE VARIABLES. THE BASIC TECHNIQUE IS PATH ANALYSIS AND THE OTHER IS ITS EXTENSION THROUGH THE USE OF RECURSIVE SYSTEMS OF EQUATIONS. THE ANALYSIS IS…

Statistical Reporting Service (USDA), Washington, DC. – 1974
Intended as a reference for the convenience of students in sampling, this monograph attempts to express relevant, introductory mathematics and probability in the context of sample surveys. Although some proofs are presented, the emphasis is more on exposition of mathematical language and concepts than on the mathematics per se and rigorous proofs.…

Owsley, Fran, Ed. – 1974
This book is a part of a self-study sequence in an engineering certification program. This volume deals with basic measurement related to construction projects; chapters are devoted to stationing, alignment data, curve data, equations, and bench marks. Some knowledge of algebra and trigonometry is assumed. (SD)

Hoile, Margaret Ann – 1974
In an attempt to prepare students for units analysis in the solution of problems in high school chemistry and physics, the author developed learning packets on the factor label method. Thirty-three students used these packets individually during a regular tenth-grade geometry class. There were two packets, each to be used for two days. Prior to…
