Kort, Edith M. – Focus on Learning Problems in Mathematics, 1996
Describes the Math, Science, and Computer Camp for girls ages 8-12. Includes vignettes that illustrate worthwhile mathematical tasks in which girls engage that expand their notion of mathematics. (MKR)
Descriptors: Demonstration Programs, Elementary Education, Females, Mathematics Curriculum
Lowenthal, Francis; Vandeputte, Christiane – Focus on Learning Problems in Mathematics, 1989
Introduces an introductory module for analysis. Describes stock of basic functions and their graphs as part one and three methods as part two: transformations of simple graphs, the sum of stock functions, and upper and lower bounds. (YP)
Descriptors: College Mathematics, Equations (Mathematics), Foreign Countries, Functions (Mathematics)
Janvier, Claude; Garancon, Maurice – Focus on Learning Problems in Mathematics, 1989
Shows that graphs can reveal much about feedback systems that formula conceal, especially as microcomputers can provide complex graphs presented as animations and allow students to interact easily with them. Describes feedback systems, evolution of the system, and phase diagram. (YP)
Descriptors: Computer Simulation, Computer Uses in Education, Diagrams, Feedback
Rachlin, Sidney L.; And Others – Focus on Learning Problems in Mathematics, 1987
Describes a research methodology known as the teaching experiment and details an example of a teaching experiment aimed at the development of a process-oriented algebra curriculum. Addresses other possible variations of the teaching experiment, emphasizing the cooperation of teachers and researchers. (TW)
Descriptors: Algebra, Curriculum Development, Diagnostic Teaching, Experimenter Characteristics
Underhill, Robert G.; And Others – Focus on Learning Problems in Mathematics, 1987
Presents the major findings identified by a commission that examined research issues in diagnostic and prescriptive mathematics. Addresses the diagnostic process with regard to curriculum, instruction, learners, teacher education, clinics, and the mathematics education community. (TW)
Descriptors: Diagnostic Teaching, Elementary School Mathematics, Elementary Secondary Education, Individualized Instruction
Clayton, Gypsy Abbott; McEntire, Elizabeth – Focus on Learning Problems in Mathematics, 1988
Describes the four competencies which are argued to be necessary for being an effective remedial mathematics teacher. Describes a training model which has been developed for preservice and inservice teachers based on these competencies. (PK)
