This manual was designed for use with the second of five texts in the Secondary School Advanced Mathematics (SSAM) series. Developed for students who have completed the Secondary School Mathematics (SSM) program and wish to continue their studies in mathematics, this series is designed to review, strengthen, and fill gaps in the material covered…

Worksheets for duplication concerned with classification and measure of various geometric shapes are given. (MK)

This module, designed for use at the high school level as a four- to eight-hour topic, includes: the geometry of a sphere, the coordinate system used to describe points on the earth's surface, parallel and meridian sailing, and the solution of right spherical triangles. (Author/MK)

Algebra is used to expand the historic construction of the arithmetic, geometric, and harmonic means to include the quadratic mean and a fifth mean. (MK)

Presented are suggestions for teaching metric conversion and the properties of quadrilaterals. (MK)

This is the Teacher's Commentary for Mathematics for the Elementary School, Book K, Special Edition. The writers have relied on the existing SMSG kindergarten and first grade materials as a framework. This special edition is designed to meet the needs of disadvantaged children. Included in the Commentary are background information for the teacher,…

Designed for students who have mastered the skills and concepts in the regular geometry series of the Quinmester Program, this guidebook presents an additional course on the study of the nature of proof, using a Euclidean geometry model. The development of techniques of formal proof is simplified through the liberal use of partially-constructed…

This nineteenth unit in the SMSG secondary school mathematics series is the teacher's commentary for Unit 17. First, a time allotment for each of the chapters in Units 17 and 18 is given. Then, for each of the chapters in Unit 17, the goals for that chapter are discussed, the mathematics is explained, some teaching suggestions are given, answers…

This is the Teacher's Commentary for the Supplementary Units for Junior High School Students. Included in the Commentary are background material for teachers, suggestions for instruction, and answers to student exercises. Also included are comments on how to use the materials with different types of students and time needed for instruction. (RH)

This is one of eighteen sets of individualized mathematics problems developed by the Oregon Vo-Tech Math Project. Each of these problem packages is organized around a mathematical topic and contains problems related to diverse vocations. Solutions are provided for all problems. This package contains problems related to measurement of area which…

These materials, used in a self-paced course in engineering descriptive geometry for freshman and sophomore college-level students, cover three modules: basic spatial relationships; intersections, parallelism, and perpendicularity; and graphic analysis and development. Each module contains five instructional units. Each unit includes a rationale,…

An application of transformation geometry to special relativity is described. No knowledge of physics is required, but the application uses transformation ideas in a nontrivial way. A comparison is given of reflections in the Euclidean and Minkowski (non-Euclidean) planes. (MNS)
