Provided are the scope and sequence of mathematics topics for Grade 6 to be implemented by teachers and supervisors. The guide is presented in the form of 62 units, each being organized around the themes of (1) sets, numbers, and numeration; (2) operations; (3) geometry and measurement; and (4) algebraic concepts, graphs, probability, and…

Information about the status of working women and their underutilization in the national work force is presented in summary and graph form. Although progress has been made in assuring women equality of pay and nondiscrimination in employment, much work needs to be done to improve the utilization of their abilities. The barriers are still high…

This guide is a continuation of the series of guides starting with SE 012 723. The entire course is ungraded, but the material referred to in this guide would probably be covered in grade five or six. The concept of place value is studied more deeply using Dienes' Multiple Attribute Blocks, and used in the further development of formal algorithms.…

This guide is the seventh of a series of seven curriculum guides included in SE 012 723, SE 012 724, and SE 012 725, and concludes the primary school mathematics course (grades one through six in Victorian schools, Australia). It is expected that "a substantial majority of children leaving grade six will have completed Section H. Some…

Graphs of exotic functions which can be defined using algebraic operations are discussed. (SD)

Proposes the use of the multiple criteria utility theory, a means of measuring satisfaction of predetermined evaluative criteria, quantifying their relative importance, and identifying and determining the best trade-offs among them to evaluate information systems. This method is demonstrated via the evaluation of a hypothetical selective…

Grid paper activities are discussed as a way to help students conceptualize fractions. (MP)

Estimating the weight of large pumpkins before harvest presents an opportunity for applying several diverse mathematical topics. A model that allows an estimation by easy tape measurement is derived. (MP)

Examines the relationship between the linguistic component and the graphic component of university texts and articles. (AM)

Difficulties encountered when drawing the graphs of linear equations are discussed. Programs are developed to overcome these and worksheets are given for further practice. (MP)

Education in Great Britain has been receiving a diminishing share of the financial cake since the inception of the Rate Support Grant system and, particularly, since the introduction of post-Bains Local Authority structures. (Author/IRT)

A comparative study of the cost effectiveness of retrospective manual and on-line bibliographic searching is described. Individual task times for question analysis, searching, photocopying, shelving and output distribution were measured, and component costs for labor, information, reproduction, physical space and telecommunications calculated. The…

The iconographic means of illustrating mathematical facts is discussed along with several examples of graphical solutions to descriptive mathematics problems proposed by pupils. (MN)

Describes a number of methods of teaching graphing and in fulfilling objectives in graphing such as collecting data from the student's immediate environment and using standard graphical practice in representing relationships. (Author/RK)
