The Soloworks project is based on the belief that student-controlled computing is a promising innovation in secondary mathematics instruction. The Soloworks project is following up three years of experience in the Pittsburgh public school system with a new program encorporating both student-controlled computing and modern math curricula. The work…

This volume is an experimental edition for a high school course in the theory of matrices and vectors. One of the basic aims is to demonstrate the structure of mathematics. Another criterion is to provide some tools that will be useful in the student's transition from school to college. A last objective is that the intellectually vigorous students…

This document is an English-language abstract (approximately 1,500 words) of a book dealing with certain problems of modern teaching techniques, general ones on the one hand, and algorithms on the other, viewed from the point of mathematical logic, information theory, psychology and didactics. The concept of teaching is based on a number of…

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…

Reports part of the results of the Design, Development, and Assessment in Mathematics Education Project that tested the booklet on descriptive statistics called "Data Visualization" in six experimental algebra classes in Whitnall, Wisconsin. Describes examples of problems presented, use of cooperative learning during instruction, and…
