A list of 16 examples found in the content of the high school mathematics program that illustrate surprising mathematical results and a list of 17 suggestions for varying classroom routine, organization, and instruction are given. (DT)

Eight suggestions for surmounting barriers between the student and the class teacher are given and briefly discussed: class evaluations, alternate class structure, student-written notes, in-class "experiments," quizzes without trauma, the class dummy, "programmed" spontaneity, and "treats." (DT)

The effects of self-management on children's academic performance were studied. Four groups varying in degree of self-management and a control group were pre- and posttested in basic math facts before and after eight weeks of continuous daily measurement. During the eight weeks, the four groups took daily one minute timed math tests, graded the…

Twenty suggestions for lending variety to classroom activities. (MM)

An individualized mathematics program for eighth graders is described. The program includes the use of diagnostic testing, individual learning prescriptions, commercially-prepared materials, weekly progress checks, and three instructors. (MN)

Classroom management techniques used by two teachers in an open classroom are described. The organization and arrangement of materials and activities and the establishment of rules of behavior are also discussed. (JP)

Described is a method of teaching mathematics to mixed ability classes. The presentation of topics, the organization within the classroom and the difficulties met by teachers are discussed. The problems of homework and assessment are also considered. The teacher's role is compared with that in a streamed situation. (JP)

The author discusses major issues related to the teaching of elementary school mathematics and draws upon research results for his analysis. The elementary school mathematics curriculum is discussed in terms of selection of content, educational objectives and content arrangement. Within the realm of mathematics learning, discovery learning, the…

The authors propose an alternate method of individualizing college mathematics instruction which combines the aptitude-treatment interaction (ATI) approach and approaches emphasizing a variety of instructional formats. (MN)

This paper addresses the organization of classrooms in which the teacher is the center of control of all activities. Ten anecdotes are presented to illustrate the diversity of teaching methods used. The issue of poor teaching is addressed. (SD)

The authors place emphasis on the opportunity for active learning on the part of the student in a discussion of the advantages, conditions, and uses of small group instruction in contrast to the lecturing or tutoring methods of teaching mathematics. (MN)
