Reasons for changing the mode of teaching undergraduate mathematics are discussed. A description is given of the mathematics program as it has evolved at Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand. (MK)

This article, a reprint from 1930, offers an interesting perspective on the importance of diagnostic and prescriptive teaching as well as the role of drill and the use of objectives in mathematics. (Author/MK)

A four-step sequence of desirable student cognitive behaviors is described and discussed. Teaching implications are noted. (MK)

A mathematics test, developed by preservice teachers, was given to several samples of students. The results are given and discussed. (MK)

As a part of the investigation into children's understanding of mathematics undertaken by the Concepts in Secondary Mathematics and Science (CSMS) project, students in English secondary schools were given a class test on transformation geometry. This is a discussion of the results of the third-year sample, who were about 14 years old. (Author/MK)

A game of noughts and crosses (tic-tac-toe) is used to motivate some mathematical activities. Several "starter" questions for activities are included. (MK)

Practical tips on the teaching of various secondary mathematics topics are given. Topics include geometric concepts related to circles, mathematical properties and procedures illustrated with a scrabble game, and the limit concept and infinity. (MK)

This reprint of one of the original Project Solo curriculum modules provides instruction for using the computer to investigate circular functions. (MP)

A list is provided of common errors and weaknesses in metric materials produced for use in the schools. (MK)

Suggestions are given for teaching function notation, fractional calculations on a calculator, division to relucant learners, and a probability problem. (MK)

Examines the debris left in the wake of new mathematics and attempts to decide what is worth salvaging. (Author/RK)

Describes the Math, Science, and Computer Camp for girls ages 8-12. Includes vignettes that illustrate worthwhile mathematical tasks in which girls engage that expand their notion of mathematics. (MKR)

Presents three methods invented by fourth graders for obtaining the arithmetic mean. This presentation is in support of the idea that encouraging children to invent their own mathematical processes is a good way for them to clarify the idea of representativeness and consequently the teacher can facilitate the students' construction of higher…

A survey was conducted of 439 teachers in 73 high schools to determine how teachers become conversant with current mathematics curriculum development efforts. Data suggest that Australian mathematics teachers infrequently undertake professional development activities. The survey questionnaire is included in an appendix. (Author/DF)

Presents an analysis of a teacher's teaching of the lesson about finding decimal estimates for fractions. Continues with a conception of the mathematics curriculum entitled Middle Grades Mathematics Project. Contains 13 references. (ASK)
