The Anchor Test Study provides a method for translating a pupil's score on any one of eight widely used standardized reading tests for Grades 4, 5, and 6 to a corresponding score of any of the other seven tests, as well as furnishing new nationally representative norms for each of the eight tests. In addition, the Study presents new estimates of…

This instructional unit is designed to serve as an introduction to algebra. True and false mathematical sentences are first presented with open sentences to introduce the use of a variable. Inequalities, formulas, and graphs are the next major concepts discussed. The unit concludes with six projects that attempt to tie the major concepts together.…

An advanced General Education Program has been designed to prepare an individual with the information, concepts, and general knowledge required to successfully pass the American Council on Education's High School General Education Development (GED) Test. The Advanced General Education Program provides comprehensive self-instruction in each of the…

This report discusses the analysis of selected factors related to public school enrollment and describes the development of a model for projecting student enrollment using a systems analysis approach. Chapter 1 discusses the purpose of the study, the techniques employed in the study, and the organization of the report. Chapters 2 and 3 provide an…

Track cards are manipulative materials used to promote verbalization, spatial perception, eye-hand coordination, simple problem solving, and fun in doing mathematics. (JT)

During the first 12 weeks of an applied calculus course, two classes of college students studied calculus concepts using graphical and symbol-manipulation computer programs to perform routine manipulations. Three weeks were spent on skill development. Students showed better understanding of concepts and performed almost as well on routine skills.…

Describes a hands-on lesson in magnetism designed to be used with upper elementary grade students. Emphasizes structured experiences which involve the student in measuring, data collecting, graphing, and extrapolating information. (TW)

Includes materials in reproducible format designed to help students read and draw distance-time graphs and use the slopes of these graphs to draw conclusions about car speed. (PK)

Suggests that in the mathematics classroom the federal income tax may serve as a familiar example to illustrate several aspects of the mathematical concept of function. (PK)

Description of study to determine the impact of management training on student performance focuses on the need for proper evaluation. Pre- and posttraining evaluative tools for rating managers are described, differences in ratings are analyzed, and implications for evaluating management training on interpersonal skills are discussed.
