Developed by the Initial Learning in Mainstreaming Project, the manual presents an instructional program to teach mainstreamed handicapped elementary school students how to round off numbers. In addition to detailed teaching instructions and accompanying tape recordings for students, the manual includes tests, worksheets, and pages to be made into…

THE RESULTS FROM AN EXPERIMENT TESTING A SERIES OF SIX HYPOTHESES DEDUCED FROM THE DELACATO INTERPRETATION OF NEUROLOGICAL ORGANIZATION ARE PRESENTED. SUBJECTS IN THE 3-MONTH STUDY WERE SECOND GRADERS FROM THE CHICAGO ARCHDIOCESAN SCHOOL SYSTEM WHO REPRESENTED SIMILAR BACKGROUNDS AND SOCIOECONOMIC LEVELS. COMPARISONS WERE MADE OF THE READING AND…

THIS GUIDE OUTLINES THE MINIMUM MATERIAL FOR WHICH STUDENTS OF NINTH YEAR MATHEMATICS - COURSE 1 - ALGEBRA WERE HELD RESPONSIBLE ON THE REGENTS EXAMINATIONS BEGINNING IN JUNE, 1966. THE REPORT ALSO PRESENTS THE SCOPE AND CONTENT OF THE ALGEBRA COURSE AND POSSIBLE SUGGESTIONS FOR TEACHING THE MATERIAL TO STUDENTS. (RP)

THE DOCUMENT CONTAINS NUMEROUS SPECIFIC ACTIVITIES FOR UNDERSTANDING ELEMENTS OF THE NUMERATION SYSTEM, FUNDAMENTAL OPERATIONS, AND OTHER CONCEPTS SUCH AS TIME, FRACTIONS, AND APPROACHES TO GEOMETRY. A NUMBER OF GAMES AND PUZZLES ARE INCLUDED. THE ACTIVITIES WERE DEVELOPED BY TEACHERS AT A UNIVERSITY OF CINCINNATI WORKSHOP FOR THE IMPROVEMENT OF…

TEN WORD-PROBLEMS ARE PRESENTED IN EACH OF THE FOLLOWING AREAS--MULTIPLICATION, DIVISION, FRACTIONS, AND DECIMAL FRACTIONS. SPECIALLY PREPARED TO MOTIVATE CULTURALLY DEPRIVED STUDENTS IN MATHEMATICS, THE PROBLEMS CONTAIN REFERENCES TO OBJECTS FAMILIAR TO THESE STUDENTS.

THE PURPOSE OF SYSTEMATIC TEACHING AND LEARNING IN ARITHMETIC IS TO HELP CHILDREN DEVELOP IDEAS OF PROCEDURE, METHODS OF THINKING, MEANING INHERENT IN NUMBER REACTIONS AND ARRANGEMENT IN ORDER THAT THE QUANTITATIVE SITUATIONS OF LIFE MAY BE HANDLED INTELLIGENTLY. AT THE KINDERGARTEN-PRIMARY LEVEL THE NUMBER CONCEPTS TO BE FOSTERED ARE--PUTTING…

FIFTH GRADE WORK SHOULD CONTINUE THE SEQUENTIAL DEVELOPMENT OF MATHEMATICAL UNDERSTANDINGS AND COMPUTATIONAL SKILLS. THE PROBLEMS APPROACH SHOULD BE USED SO CHILDREN MAY DISCOVER MATHEMATICAL TRUTHS AND ARRIVE AT GENERALIZATIONS. THE NUMBER SYSTEM UNIT SHOULD EMPHASIZE THE ABILITY TO READ AND WRITE NUMERALS TO SIX PLACES AND THE ABILITY TO READ…

TWO METHODS OF PRESENTING PROGRAMED MATERIAL AND THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THE INSTRUCTION ON MENTAL RETARDATES WERE STUDIED--(1) ANSWER-CONSTRUCT (A-C) WHICH REQUIRED THAT THE ANSWER BE WRITTEN-IN AND (2) MULTIPLE CHOICE (MC) WHICH REQUIRED THAT THE CORRECT ANSWER BE CHOSEN AND MARKED. THE SUBJECTS WERE 36 STUDENTS ATTENDING A STATE INSTITUTION FOR…

The purpose of this study was two-fold: (1) to investigate the effects of a new approach for teaching decimals by comparing it with two other commonly used methods with respect to achievement and retention of computational ability in decimals, and (2) to determine those areas of the new approach which seemed to be in need of revision. The study…

THIS BOOKLET, ONE OF A SERIES, HAS BEEN DEVELOPED FOR THE PROJECT, A PROGRAM FOR MATHEMATICALLY UNDERDEVELOPED PUPILS. A PROJECT TEAM, INCLUDING INSERVICE TEACHERS, IS BEING USED TO WRITE AND DEVELOP THE MATERIALS FOR THIS PROGRAM. THE MATERIALS DEVELOPED IN THIS BOOKLET INCLUDE (1) RECOGNIZING SETS AND THEIR MEMBERS, (2) EQUIVALENT SETS AND EQUAL…
