This document lists mathematics objectives for Boston high school students. All objectives are presented in two columns. The left-hand column states each objective in general terms and gives an idea of its scope. The right-hand column gives a specific example of what students should be able to do when the objective is achieved. Objectives are…

This field guide was used as a basis for documenting classroom events at five community school sites in Papua New Guinea, as part of the Indigenous Mathematics Project in its ongoing research into primary mathematics learning. Methodology for evaluating the appropriateness of curriculum form and content is described and specific sections focus on…

Article discussed the trend toward consumer mathematics and its meaning and importance for high school students. (RK)

Discussed general mathematics courses with practical applications as a method of instructing high school students in their approach to social problems. (RK)

This module was designed to allow students to build or increase their level of understanding of geometry. It helps students develop those skills necessary to successfully understand and use basic geometry skills that are necessary for many vocational jobs and that act as a basis for additional understanding. The seven units include: (1)…

This paper considers research on visual-spatial learning differences between males and females and how such differences can be overcome in science and mathematics curricula. It is suggested that one reason females are underrepresented in the areas of mathematics and science is that they tend to score lower on spatial visualization aptitude…

In July 1982, a conference was held at Williams College in Williamstown, Massachusetts, to discuss the need for more discrete mathematics in the first two years of the core undergraduate mathematics curriculum. This paper reviews the recommendations that were made during the conference, the progress that has been made in the implementation of…

This monograph is one of a series describing goals, student outcomes, and instructional techniques for mathematics in the elementary and middle grades. Sections included are: (1) "Introduction"; (2) "Overview of the Kindergarten Mathematics Program"; (3) "Kindergarten Teaching Considerations" (considering variability, learning characteristics,…

The Comprehensive School Mathematics Program (CSMP) is a program of CEMREL, Inc., one of the national educational laboratories, and was funded by the National Institute of Education (NIE). Its major purpose is the development of curriculum materials for grades kindergarten through 6. Two schools began using CSMP in fall 1978, with the curriculum…

The Comprehensive School Mathematics Program (CSMP) is a program of CEMREL, Inc., one of the national educational laboratories, and was funded by the National Institute of Education (NIE).

The purpose of this study was to: (1) describe how mathematics is being taught in elementary schools in the state of Washington; (2) identify variables that relate significantly to how mathematics is being taught; and (3) identify variables that relate significantly to mathematics achievement. A sample of approximately 206 elementary schools was…

Papers from the eighth annual meeting of the Canadian Mathematics Education Study Group are presented, beginning with a lecture by Alan Bishop on "The Social Construction of Meaning--A Significant Development for Mathematics Education." Also included are reports of four working groups: "LOGO and the Mathematics Curriculum"…

The purpose of this article is to explore the current situations and trends in junior high/middle school mathematics. To assist in this effort, an organizational scheme based on an instructional-process model of goals, objectives, methods, materials, and evaluation will be used. (Author)
