This is the final test for students in the twelfth-grade course Mathematics 30, offered in schools in Alberta, Canada. Intended for administration in June 1986, it is available in both English and French. It contains 52 multiple-choice questions and five written-response problems, with two-and-one-half hours allowed for completion. Approved…

This publication provides suggested learner outcomes for guiding instruction and evaluation of students in grades 9-12 in Oklahoma. The goals are intended to provide teachers, administrators, school boards, parents, and other concerned citizens with a clear understanding of expected minimum learner outcomes for each mathematics course. Teachers…

In this document, detailed objectives for the following courses are listed: Algebra I, Algebra II, Geometry, Trigonometry, Analytic Geometry, Advanced Mathematics, Personal Business Mathematics, and Business Mathematics. Each objective is keyed to an expected level of achievement: awareness, knowledge, application, mastery, reinforcement, and…

Preliminary results are reported for courses in college algebra and trigonometry based on the Postlethwait audio-tutorial minicourse system which were developed at Indiana University-Purdue University at Fort Wayne (IPFW). Two IPFW faculty members, two secondary teachers, and two undergraduate mathematics majors formed a minicourse project team…

The two sections found in this publication, "Integrating Computer Literacy With Existing Classes" and "Guide to Computer Augmented Trigonometry," were written by participants in two summer courses at the University of Oregon. The first section addresses the general topic of teaching computer literacy through existing classes,…

This trigonometry curriculum guide, produced under the direction of the State of Louisiana's Department of Public Education, is a segment of the educational program established in response to accountability, assessment, and competency-based education laws. This guide is designed to represent the best thinking of a selected statewide committee…

Designed to accompany the student text, this guide presents lessons relating specific mathematical concepts to the interdisciplinary biomedical curriculum. Each lesson includes discussion of objectives, recommended class periods involved in the lesson, and a section of overview and remarks. Advice on teaching the concept, integrating the lesson…

Two computer-assisted instruction programs were written in electronics and trigonometry to test the Wollmer Markov Model for optimizing hierarchial learning; calibration samples totalling 110 students completed these programs. Since the model postulated that transfer effects would be a function of the amount of practice, half of the students were…

This document is one of six which set forth the mathematics components of the Project SEARCH Articulated Curriculum developed by the Utica (New York) City School District. Each volume deals with a broad area of mathematics and lists objectives related to that area for all grades from K through 12. Each objective listed is described first in…

The sixteen chapters of this book provide the core material for the Elements of Mathematics Program, a secondary sequence developed for highly motivated students with strong verbal abilities. The sequence is based on a functional-relational approach to mathematics teaching, and emphasizes teaching by analysis of real-life situations. This text is…

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 is a collection of units prepared by high school mathematics teachers to be used as a "career curriculum" guide. Each unit contains a statement of objectives, a discussion of the content, activity sheets, and exercises. The volume is organized into clusters so that an individual may choose the parts suited to individual needs. Major topics…

A series of ten teacher-prepared Learning Activity Packages (LAPs) in advanced algebra and trigonometry, the units cover logic; absolute value, inequalities, exponents, and complex numbers; functions; higher degree equations and the derivative; the trigonometric function; graphs and applications of the trigonometric functions; sequences and…

Argues that students should have dynamic perceptual experience with the concepts central to circular functions. Includes a computer program, designed for Apple II, to provide such experience. (PK)

A collection of student distortions, represented by student-invented variations of theorems, are presented. They were drawn from examination papers of 17-year-old students in Israel. (MNS)
