This is one of eighteen sets of individualized mathematics problems developed by the Oregon Vo-Tech Math Project. Each of these problem packages is organized around a mathematical topic and contains problems related to diverse vocations. Solutions are provided for all problems. This volume contains problems involving ratio and proportion. Some…

This is one of eighteen sets of individualized mathematics problems developed by the Oregon Vo-Tech Math Project. Each of these problem packages is organized around a mathematical topic and contains problems related to diverse vocations. Solutions are provided for all problems. Problems in this volume require the computation of square roots,…

This paper proposes a method for teaching number applying the conservation theory of Piaget in the classroom. It is suggested that number facts cannot be taught by social transmission, since there is a fundamental distinction between logico-mathematical and social knowledge. Conservation cannot be taught to non-conservers, but there are ways to…

The "modern mathematics" curriculum places considerably more emphasis on the use of precise terminology when referring to properties of whole numbers than did previous curricula. The relationship between the ability to make these verbal associations and other aspects of mathematics achievement of sixth graders is investigated in this study A…

This yearbook presents many aspects of mathematics learning by children between the ages of three and eight. Addressed to teachers of primary school children, the book begins with chapters discussing learning and cognition, the primary curriculum, and research on mathematics learning at this age level. Eight subsequent chapters deal with the…

Behavioral objectives are specified for 82 topics in mathematics to be covered in grades 7 through 9. A general objective is given for each, followed by specific behavioral objectives with suggested activities. Topics include number properties and operations, geometry, number theory, algebra, set theory, ratio, proportion and percent, the metric…

Behavioral objectives for grades 10 through 12 are specified for plane geometry, algebra, general mathematics, computer mathematics, slide rule mathematics, basic college mathematics, trigonometry, analytic geometry, calculus and probability. Most sections present material in terms of portions of a school year. At least one major objective is…

This volume presents a collection of activities and games for use in elementary school mathematics laboratories. The activities and games included were submitted by classroom teachers and were selected for their use of manipulative materials or their reliance on student interactions. Several of the activities included have been described in "The…

Piaget's organismic-developmental theory of intelligence was investigated in this study to determine the effectiveness of training middle class 3 and 4 year olds on two logico-mathematical structures: classification and seriation. Twenty-four children were divided into two main age groups (mean ages: 3 years 8 months; 4 years 5 months). Within…

The contemporary mathematics program set forth in this publication developed as a result of experimentation and evaluation in classroom situations. This is Part 2 of "Mathematics: 8th Year." Part 1, a separate bulletin, was published during the school year 1967-68. The materials in this bulletin are intended to serve as guidelines for…

The Minnesota School Mathematics and Science Teaching (MINNEMAST) Project is characterized by its emphasis on the coordination of mathematics and science in the elementary school curriculum. Units are planned to provide children with activities in which they learn various concepts from both subject areas. Each subject is used to support and…

An explicit and complete list of the Minimal Performance Objectives for Mathematics Education in Michigan public schools is contained in this document. The objectives are organized under the five major topics of Arithmetic, Measurement, Geometry, Algebra, and Probability and Statistics. Examples and comments are included. A summary of the…

This teacher guide is part of the materials prepared for an individualized program for ninth-grade algebra and basic mathematics students. Materials written for the program are to be used with audiovisual lessons recorded on tape cassettes. For an evaluation of the program, see ED 086 545. In this guide, the teacher is provided with objectives for…
