This report contains the findings of a two-year experiment with junior high school low achievers in mathematics. The main purpose of the experiment was to develop a program which would relieve low achieving junior high school students from the burdens of computation as much as possible. The experiment was also designed to determine what effect…

Twenty-two brief articles describe experiences of teachers in individualizing mathematics instruction at the junior and senior high school levels. Topics include specific activities, record keeping and management, testing and grading, and programs for low achievers and gifted students. (SD)

The increasing use of upper-grade students as tutors for younger children has been viewed as a means of reducing the achievement gap that exists among culturally-disadvantaged children. However, research has indicated that the potential of such a tutorial arrangement is linked closely to the tutoring techniques used, and unless student tutors are…

Reports on the first phase of a two-year pilot study of a university-level mathematics requirement that accommodates the needs of developmental students. Finds that the 84% pass rate for this new class format is substantially higher than the 43% pass rate for traditional developmental mathematics courses offered during the same semester. (Contains…

This document was originally produced for use with thirteen- to fifteen-year-old pupils of low mathematical attainment. The material has not been extensively tested, and is best regarded as a collection of ideas for development. Reproduction of any of this material for use by teachers with their own pupils is encouraged. The sheets are arranged so…
