This document is a collection of mathematics pretests and posttests for grades 3 and 4 on the topics of sets, place value, addition-subtraction, multiplication, division, multiplication-division, and fractions. Two forms for each test are provided plus answer keys. This work was prepared under an ESEA Title III contract. (DT)

The third of three volumes of a mathematics training course for Navy personnel, this text emphasizes topics needed in understanding digital computers and computer programing. The text begins with sequences and series, induction and the binomial theorem, and continues with two chapters on statistics. Arithmetic operations in number systems other…

Unit 9 in the SMSG's secondary school mathematics series is a student text covering the following topics in Algebra I: sets and the number line, numerals and variables, sentences and properties of operations, open sentences and English sentences, the real numbers, properties of addition, properties of multiplication, properties of order, and…

Four activities and related worksheets are provided. The activities, all concerned with multiplication, are directed toward students at different levels, and deal with repeated addition, basic facts, and factorization. (SD)

Compared the computational performance of two groups of arithmetic teachers: one group tested in 1930 and the other in 1973. Results indicated that the 1973 teachers performed significantly better than the 1930 teachers. (JMB)

Addition and subtraction of integers can be approached through the use of chips of two colors. (SD)

Games and laboratory experiences which can be used to help build basic skills are described. (SD)

An approach to the teaching of division of fractions is described. Diagrams illustrating the division process are provided. (SD)

The development of numeracy is discussed as being an important aspect of the learning process. (MP)

Magic squares are used to generate number games similar to tic-tac-toe. Skills that are reinforced include addition of negative numbers and addition and multiplication of fractions. (MP)

Groups of eight- and ten-year-olds and adults visually searched for the presence of a target letter or number in fields of items that were either of the same or a different category (letter or number) than the target. (JMB)

Topics covered include alternate methods for finding LCM and GCF, imaginative word problems, and a primes-breakdown method of factoring quadratics. (MP)

Several problems are identified: place values, time, even numbers, fractional parts, and temperature. Specific teaching suggestions are discussed. (MP)

One student's project involved a contest of guessing how many peanuts were in a 100-pound bag. His teacher briefly reflects on the wide range of guesses and students' concept of large numbers. (MP)
