The authors describe their approach to teaching a course on finite fields and combinatorial applications, including block designs and error-correcting codes, using a hybrid of lectures and active learning. Under the discussed classroom model, there are two lecture days and two discovery-based discussion days each week. Discussions center around…

This study is an attempt to design and develop as well as validate sets of Online Instructional Materials in Mathematics VI at selected elementary schools in DCS, Manila, specifically, focused on the study of Geometry and Measurement. Using both documentary analysis and descriptive method of study, two (2) major groups of respondents were chosen…

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, countries have had to adapt their usual teaching environment and processes to distance education. The purpose of this study was to investigate the Grade 9 geometry course contents shared on the Education Information Network (EBA) platform in terms of mathematics values (mathematical values and mathematics educational…

Helping students develop their ability to use the mathematical practices relies on their awareness of and ability to share their thinking to be used as part of classroom instruction. This type of instruction tends to be different from most teachers mathematics learning experiences thus requiring teachers to rethink what it means to teach…

Curriculum standards provide classroom teachers with frameworks to guide instruction during the academic year and throughout a student's schooling. Unfortunately, standards are misconstrued as all-encompassing--as a compendium of all mathematics content that can and should be taught to students. Such a view is unfortunate. Mathematics teachers…

Using an apparently simple problem, ''Design a cylindrical can that will hold a liter of milk,'' this paper demonstrates how engineering design may facilitate the teaching of the following ideas to secondary students: linear and non-linear relationships; basic geometry of circles, rectangles, and cylinders; unit measures of area and volume;…

High academic standards are an important first step in ensuring that all Alaska's students have the tools they need for success. These standards reflect the collaborative work of Alaskan educators and national experts from the nonprofit National Center for the Improvement of Educational Assessment. Further, they are informed by public comments.…

This teaching guide outlines a semester course for those students who need review work in concepts from algebra and geometry. Successful completion of this material would serve as a prerequisite to the study of trigonometry. Sequence, textbook references, and time allotments are suggested. Units studied are: the real numbers; operations on the…

This program is designed to enable students to master the competencies and skills which reflect the learning goals and objectives developed by the Illinois State Board of Education. This document lists the learning objectives by grade level and reporting period for kindergarten through grade three. Topics included are arithmetic, measurement,…

This curriculum bulletin is one of a planned series of bulletins designed to meet the needs of teachers and supervisors who are working to improve the achievement level of mathematics. The material has been planned to help teachers meet the diverse mathematical needs of the children in fifth-grade classes. In addition to the emphasis that is…

The materials in this bulletin consist of a series of daily lesson plans for use by teachers in presenting a modern program of seventh year mathematics. In these lesson plans are developed concepts, skills , and applications. There is an emphasis on (1) an understanding of mathematical structure, (2) growth of a number system, (3) relations and…

The materials in this bulletin consist of a series of daily lesson plans for use by teachers in presenting a modern program of eighth year mathematics. There is an emphasis on (1) an understanding of mathematical structure, (2) growth of a number system, (3) relations and operations in a number system, (4) a development of mathematical skills…

This curriculum bulletin is designed to help teachers meet the diverse needs in mathematics of the children in fifth grade classes. In addition to the emphasis that is placed on arithmetic computational skills, the bulletin shows how to include other areas considered important, such as concepts, skills, and ideas from algebra and geometry. The 80…

A collaborative effort among teachers, mathematics specialists, administrators, representatives from local industry, and college and university faculty produced the complete revision of the Leominster Public School System (Massachusetts) mathematics curriculum. This document provides an outline of the complete K-12 mathematics curriculum,…

This guide is designed to help classroom teachers implement the Alabama Course of Study: Mathematics K-12. It is inclusive also of the objectives tested by the Stanford Achievement Tests and the Alabama Basic Competency Tests. One characteristic of the curriculum guide is that it clearly states what students should learn in each grade level. These…
