The process of establishing an individualized mathematics program is discussed. An annotated list of references covering program and course goals and objectives, diagnostic and achievement tests, teacher reference books, and activity sources is provided. Twenty-one articles from "The Arithmetic Teacher" which offer a rationale for the activity…

This program, included in "Effective Reading Programs...," serves an unselected cross section of more than 700 seventh- and eighth-grade students from suburban middle-income families. The program aims to make students proficient in the areas of word attack skills, including phonetic and structural analysis, comprehension skills,…

This program, included in "Effective Reading Programs...," serves about 5,950 first, second, and third graders from 33 schools. The program hopes to significantly diminish reading problems in its children by offering three years of intensive diagnostic reading instruction for 90 minutes a day during their first three years of school. The…

This program, included in "Effective Reading Progrms...," serves 265 elementary and presecondary-level students in six private learning centers. In addition, more than 7,000 students in K-12 are served in 30 public school reading-achievement centers. The program is designed to help children at all levels of reading ability. It employs an…

Reports on a project in the tri-county metropolitan Portland, Oregon area designed to help educators answer the questions: "What is to be learned?""How is it to be learned?" and "Has it actually been learned?" Educational goals were produced for use in management and planning, and coded for retrieval from a computer…

One of 12 books developed for use with the core material (Book O) of the Elements of Mathematics Program, this text covers material well beyond the scope of the usual secondary mathematics sequences. These materials are designed for highly motivated students with strong verbal abilities; mathematical theories and ideas are developed through…

This evaluation report is one of 17 planned for the longitudinal pilot study of the implementation in kindergarten and grade 1 of the Comprehensive School Mathematics Program (CSMP). In this report, the implementation of the CSMP program in first-grade classrooms in Detroit is described. Results of three tests given to both CSMP and non-CSMP…

This evaluation report is one of 17 planned for the longitudinal pilot study of the implementation in kindergarten and grade 1 of the Comprehensive School Mathematics Program (CSMP). In this report, CSMP teacher training workshops are described and evaluated. Data collected from participating teachers and coordinators by two questionnaires…

This volume is designed for teachers preparing to teach upper elementary students using the Comprehensive School Mathematics Program (CSMP) curriculum. It begins with a discussion of the importance of graph theory in mathematics and science. A mathematical development of graph-theoretic concepts and theorems is presented, followed by a set of…

The individually guided education (IGE) program developed by the Kettering Foundation was implemented in September of 1973 at the John F. Kennedy Memorial Junior High School in Woburn, Massachusetts. The components of the program described in this speech include pupil and teacher scheduling, physical layout, pupil selection and adjustment,…

Electric Circuits 540-126 is the second course of a three-course sequence which is taken during the first year of the two-year program in Electrical-Electronic Engineering Technology at Cuyahoga Community College (Ohio). The conventional lecture method of instruction includes textbook and other reading assignments, lectures based on the readings…

This document discusses the relative merits of cross-age helping programs, where one older more experienced student helps younger less experienced children to learn. Two types of approaches to organizing cross-age helping programs are reviewed: (1) one emphasizes a programmed or structured approach which consists of a series of detailed steps for…
