Describes the work in one area (functions) of an experimental project in mathematics involving the same group of children from kindergarten through second grade. The project was undertaken chiefly to give mathematical continuity to activities that made use of manipulative aids. (BR)

An elementary school in Sofia, Bulgaria, was chosen for a long-term research study of the Lozanov Suggestopaedic System. This paper describes the results of math instruction in a third grade class. Available from: Society for Suggestive-Accelerative Learning and Teaching, 2740 Richmond Avenue, Des Moines, Iowa 50319. (CFM)

Presents a college calculus program based on the discovery method and the educational psychology literature used to develop it. Lists departmental, educational, and calculus reform goals, and describes characteristics of the program, including relaxed atmosphere, use of visualization, and supplemental teaching techniques.

Discusses the present reform movement in mathematics education centered around the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics'"Curriculum and Evaluation Standards for School Mathematics." Describes different ways that the movement can become out of balance (oob). (MDH)

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 is an English-language abstract (approximately 1500 words) of a new approach to the teaching of mathematics in Mexican elementary schools. Three aspects of mathematical reform are discussed: (1) syllabus content; (2) teaching methods; and (3) the question of introducing the pupil to modern mathematics at the earliest possible stage…

In 1973, the Education Development Center (EDC) received a grant for the production and support of 65 half-hour television programs. Aimed primarily at eight- to eleven-year-old minority children, the programs were to teach supplementary mathematical topics through real situations, drawing examples from science, technology, and the arts. Hands-on…

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…
