The Curriculum Development Centre (CDC) of Malaysia became an operating agency in January 1973 and became a division of the Malaysia Ministry of Education in May 1974. Its establishment was the culmination of over a decade of curriculum development efforts by the Ministry of Education. The CDC was an outgrowth of both the First and Second Malaysia…

A review of recent major studies of two-year college developmental mathematics programs shows that there has been much experimentation in curricular offerings, course formats, and instructional approaches, including expanded content related to the students' major fields, and the use of short courses and mini-courses. However, while many…

This is one of a series of 20 booklets designed for participants in an in-service course for teachers of elementary mathematics. The course, developed by the University of Illinois Arithmetic Project, is designed to be conducted by local school personnel. In addition to these booklets, a course package includes films showing mathematics being…

The proceedings of a conference that discussed the universities' responsibilities in the preparation of mathematics teachers are presented. The report covers a series of meetings at Queen's University, Kingston, Canada, from August 31 to September 3, 1977. The conference was restricted to university mathematicians and mathematics educators in…

This special report on mathematics education in the Illinois secondary schools is based on a statewide census taken in 1979. The census was designed to produce normative data relative to offerings and enrollments in Illinois public secondary schools and to establish a source of data on secondary school curriculum at the peak of public high school…

This module is recommended as an honors unit to follow a unit on logic. There are four basic parts: (1) What is a Boolean Algebra; (2) Using Boolean Algebra to Prove Theorems; (3) Using Boolean Algebra to Simplify Logical Statements; and (4) Circuit Problems with Logic and Boolean Algebra. Of these, sections 1, 2, and 3 are primarily written…

This is one of a series of student booklets designed for use in a bilingual mathematics program in grades 6-8. The general format is to present each page in both Spanish and English. The mathematical topics in this booklet include factors, prime and composite numbers, divisibility, and exponents. (MK)

This guide covers the second part of a bilingual, sequential mathematics course. The course integrates culturally relevant situations and illustrations with mathematics to reinforce the student's self-concept and encourage cultural pride. This program may be used as a self-contained continuum, as a supplement to another course of study, for…

This study investigated the impact of a student-tutor and parent interaction program on the achievement scores of ninth- and tenth-grade Algebra 1 and general biology classes. Past studies have shown that student-parent interaction in academic areas can produce significant increases in achievement scores. There is, however, very little evidence of…

This report presents the results of a survey conducted with first-, third-, fifth-, and seventh-grade teachers in Delaware, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania. Four classroom process constructs (opportunity, motivators, structure, and instructional events) are used as organizers to present survey responses on classroom processes. In addition,…

Observations are offered on some of the problems that seem to relate to children's acquisition of basic skills and learning of mathematics. Some research and development options are suggested. Discussion of the problems is divided into the two areas "Instructional Program" and "Management of the Instructional Program." The first of these is…

This guide represents the final experimental version of an extended pilot project which was conducted in the United States between 1973 and 1976. The manner of presentation and pedagogical ideas and tools are based on the works of Georges and Frederique Papy. They are recognized as having introduced colored arrow drawings ("papygrams")…
