Teaching methods and suggestions for social studies instruction, for remedial mathematics instruction, and for stimulating students to read were discussed. (RK)

Reviewed are eight tools for assessing and teaching arithmetic skills with handicapped students. (DLS)

Evidence on the decline in preparation of entering calculus students and the relationship to high school preparation is presented, focusing on the trend toward the de-emphasis of trigonometry and analytic geometry in favor of calculus. Data on students' perception of the adequacy of their preparation are also presented. (Author/MN)

An overview of career education is given along with some related encouraging possibilities for modern mathematics as well as some points of disagreement and uncertainty. (MN)

The authors trace the growing concern over mathematics and its relationship to other disciplines in the curriculum of the secondary schools from the early 1960's. The case is then argued for a mathematics curriculum in which students become heavily involved in solving problems which are interdisciplinary and are real and of interest to them. (MN)

Article explored the development of mathematics in the 1970's and described programs that are attempting to combine the most effective elements of "new" math and "old" math with a variety of approaches to the mathematics curriculum. (Author/RK)

The author presents two examples of lattice multiplication followed by a computer algorithm to perform this multiplication. The algorithm is given in psuedocode but could easily be given in Pascal. (PK)

Presents noncalculus approximation techniques for two normal distribution problems. These methods may be useful projects for lower-level undergraduate statistics and computer science students. (PK)

Describes activities in a mathematics class for six-year-olds. The article makes several points, including: working independently is very absorbing; investigative work is as important as algorithms; and children working in groups can achieve more than even the brightest child working alone. (PK)

The article includes a discussion of counting and counting strategies. In addition, there are eight problem sets appropriate for use with groups of different age and ability levels. Suggestions are given for finding variations of the problems. (PK)

The author advocates a return to "traditional" elementary algebra content. Several roles for algebra manipulation are identified, including making arithmetic more interesting and understandable and providing facility indispensable for both the technician and the mathematician. (PK)

Presents suggestions for making statistical topics interesting and relevant in the classroom. For each of the topics, a general discussion is followed by a suggested teaching sequence with specific activities and examples. (PK)

This paper is a case study of newspaper mathematics courses developed by SACHED TRUST and published as part of a broader newspaper project in South Africa between 1977 and 1980. Findings are presented, culminating in some recommendations for the future use of the newspaper for motivating adults to study mathematics. (Author/PK)

Presents activities designed to build concepts in measurement. The activities offer actual experience with measurement tools such as rulers, scales, and clocks. (PK)

A major component of student difficulty with algebra is the inability to make sense of the algebra symbol system as a language. Accordingly, remedies should be sought by considering algebra in a linguistic sense. (PK)
