Indicates that utilizing calculators to introduce algebraic concepts in a prealgebra course provides students with a solid foundation for the study of college mathematics. Pedagogical criteria emphasized the difference between exact and approximate results, appropriate use of the calculator in problem solving, the role of estimation in…

This report presents 23 papers prepared for the first Anglo-Soviet Seminar on Mathematics Education, held in Oxford in September 1981. Ten leading British mathematics educators met with six Soviet participants for an intensive program of information sharing and discussion which covered the teaching and learning of mathematics at all school levels.…

This framework gives direction for the development of mathematics programs in California schools. The introductory chapter discusses expectations and responsibilities: problem solving, calculator technology, computational skills, estimation and mental arithmetic, and computers in mathematics education; implementation of the recommended program,…

A committee composed of students, parents, teachers, administrators, college/university persons, and representatives from business and industry carefully studied the mathematics curriculum in North Carolina public schools and formulated the recommendations contained in this report. It contains ideas, suggestions, and information resulting from…

In 1990, the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) included a Trial State Assessment (TSA); for the first time in the NAEP's history, voluntary state-by-state assessments (37 states, the District of Columbia, Guam, and the Virgin Islands) were made. The sample was designed to represent the 8th grade public school population in a state…
