Seventeen research reports are arranged under several broad topics of mathematics education. Section 1 concerns language and mathematics learning, with one paper on word problems and one on concept formation. Papers on university level mathematics in Section 2 explore problem solving, characteristics of school leavers, some mathematical aspects of…

This paper is a discussion of algebraic factoring. It is suggested that factoring is frequently presented in textbooks and by teachers without specifying one of the great values of this technique; that is, finding some of the factors of any number that can be generated by a particular polynomial. Concrete examples can help students understand the…

The Second International Mathematics Study investigated the status of the curriculum, achievement, and instructional practices at grades 8 and 12 in about 20 countries. The introductory first chapter explores the need for change in mathematics programs. Chapter two describes the achievement of U.S. students compared to others. At grade 8, U.S.…
