Effectiveness of University of Illinois Committee on School Mathematics (UICSM) Stretchers and Shrinkers and Motion Goemetry Materials in Improving Arithmetic Ability

Trent, John H.; And Others

School Science and Mathematics, 7, 9, 822-827, Dec 72

The results of a study of UICSM materials for seventh and eighth grade low achievers show that students studying Stretchers and Shrinkers learned just as much arithmetic as students in traditional programs and that students studying Motion Geometry did significantly better in arithmetic application and total score on the Stanford Achievement Test than students studying traditional materials.
