This is a preliminary report on research into computational errors made by six- and seven-year-olds. (Author/MK)

Attitude results from the second National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) are presented. (MP) Aspect of National Assessment (NAEP) dealt with in this document: Results (Interpretation).

Some significant components of mathematics instruction are presented and reviewed. Good instruction is viewed as a major influence on the quality and quantity of student learning. (MP)

An outline model of a student-presented mathematics club program on non-Euclidean geometries is discussed. The suggested instructor approach is to assign four students to research and collectively present this material to club members. (MP)

The author considers the educational systems of several socialist or communist countries and previews the nature of mathematics education in these states. (MP)

The author advocates a return to the teaching of logic in the public schools. Methods of lessening student difficulties in learning are highlighted and current school projects are discussed. (MP)

Discussed are the problems of teaching and learning fractions in the upper primary and lower secondary schools. Recommendations for teaching fractions are made and defects in various methods of fraction instruction are identified. It is suggested that fractions not be taught in upper primary and lower secondary schools. (Author/DS)

Common beliefs about children and school mathematics are presented and discarded. New and different ways of approaching mathematics instruction are then reviewed. Five rules for teaching are included.

A summary is given of a study undertaken by the National Research Council recommending an increase in the applicability of undergraduate mathematics. (MP)

This sample lesson, used with sixth graders, is designed to integrate mathematics learning with the outdoors environment. (MK)

The NCTM delegation's visit to the People's Republic of China in the fall of 1977 is described. Mathematics education in China is presented in terms of mathematical content taught. (MK)

Measurement activities designed to lead students to see measurement as more than using a device for getting and recording data or applying formulas are described. The activities will help students develop insights into relating and comparing measurements of figures involving length, area, and volume. (MK)

A description of a course for grades 4 to 8 using the Apple II microcomputer is given. (MK)

A basis is given for interdisciplinary activities for students studying transformational geometry. (MK)

A general discussion of teaching the gifted is presented, a short description of work done with the mathematically gifted junior high students at Johns Hopkins University is given, and specific suggestions for teaching the gifted are outlined. (MK)
