This booklet is a collection of activities and games designed to supplement textbook and other instructional materials in an elementary school mathematics program. The selected activities propose to stimulate learning and enhance attitudes. Some provide practice with number facts; others explore various topics such as probability. The emphasis is…

A collection of articles from the ARITHMETIC TEACHER is presented which are about practical, classroom-tested ideas for the instruction and use of teacher-made instructional aids. These entries deal only with manipulative type aids. They have been selected for the clarity of purpose and relationship to contemporary topics in the elementary school…

This workbook for children was prepared especially to accompany the level 1 Micronesian Mathematics Program Teacher's Guide. It is to be used to check whether children have learned concepts taught by activities and activity cards. Work is provided for such concepts as color recognition, categorizing, counting, ordering, numeration, contrasting,…

This study investigates effects of different instructional methods on positional numeration systems. It involved prospective elementary teachers and assessed (1) understanding, (2) performance, and (3) transference of numeration concepts. The effects were measured by the Test On Numeration Systems (TONS). During each of two semesters, three…

The purpose of this study was to investigate whether children could learn a new concept using only a textbook for guidance. A sample of all 639 sixth grade students in one school district was randomly broken down into four treatment groups. The first group received one class period of instruction from their teacher on the addition of one place…

A method for reading Piaget is presented in this guide, written for practicing teachers who want better understanding of Piaget's writings. An account of a Piagetian experiment is given, followed by a discussion of its theoretical and practical implications. Eight topics are explored: number, measurement, knots, perspectives, coordinates, floating…

This is the first workbook-text in a two-part series written for deaf students. It is remedial in nature, aimed at the secondary level, and covers addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division of whole numbers. The use of the number 10 in explaining the concepts presented is stressed throughout. For the second workbook, see SE 015 828, and…

The concepts "more" and "less" were analyzed into two meaning dimensions, "existence" (derived from children's early language) and "quantity," which were hypothesized to be developmentally related to acts of addition and subtraction. Two experiments tested two- and three-year-olds' comprehension of these concepts when initially equal or unequal…

Sixty-seven topics in mathematics to be covered in grades kindergarten through six are specified; objectives are listed under these topics along with their code numbers. (For a listing by grade level,…

The coding system used to classify items in the Instructional Program Planning and Evaluation System (IPPES) Master Objectives Bank is explained. Objectives for 67 topics in mathematics are organized by grade level for each of the grades from kindergarten through six, and their code numbers are specified. (For a listing of objectives by topic, see…

Listed are behavioral objectives for 86 topics in mathematics to be covered in grades seven through nine. For each topic a general objective is given and is followed by a list of specific objectives. Areas covered include number operations, geometry, number systems, set theory, and algebra. This work was prepared under an ESEA Title III contract.…
