Coffland, Jack A.; Cuevas, Gilbert J. – 1979
A study was conducted to examine the learning of mathematical concepts by English dominant and Spanish dominant primary school children. The concepts considered were number, numeration, and computational procedures. Using the case study method, a three step procedure was designed to study individual math objectives: (1) objectives were first…

California State Dept. of Education, Sacramento. Office of Program Evaluation and Research. – 1980
California's Pupil Proficiency Law requires each local school district to adopt standards of proficiency in the basic skills of reading comprehension, writing, and computation. Students are to be assessed in grades 4-11. Students not making sufficient progress towards meeting the district's standards are to be provided with remedial programs, and…

Conner, Totsye J. – 1980
This study investigated the effects of the use of hand-held calculators on problem solving and computational skills of elementary school students. It also considers the resulting implications for curriculum change. Evaluation focused on achievement in problem solving, computational skills, and number concepts of kindergarten, second grade, and…

Southwest Educational Development Corp., Austin, TX. – 1970
This book is intended to make common fourth-grade mathematical concepts both interesting and easy to understand. The text is designed to meet the particular needs of those children who have "accumulated discouragements" in learning mathematics. The reading level required of pupils has been reduced. Individual chapter titles are:…

Vonder Embse, Charles B.; And Others – Arithmetic Teacher, 1988
Describes the Approaching Algebra Numerically (AAN) Calculator as a computer-based simulation of a hand-held calculator designed with novice learners in mind. Includes a complete description of the calculator and suggests uses for the calculator, including exponentiation, order of operations, scientific notation, concept of variable, and problem…

McClintic, Susan V. – Arithmetic Teacher, 1988
Proposes that teachers should examine the elements of mathematical understandings that precede conservation and one-to-one correspondence and tailor classroom instruction to benefit both conserving and nonconserving students. (PK)

Firnberg, James W.; Christal, Melodie E. – College and University, 1984
A survey of institutions concerning their reporting of data on the Higher Education General Information Survey and specifically examining the differences in definitions and calculations among reporting institutions, confirmed suspected problems of comparability of information. The impact of these differences on data interpretation is discussed.…

Rizavi, Saba; Way, Walter D.; Davey, Tim; Herbert, Erin – Educational Testing Service, 2004
Item parameter estimates vary for a variety of reasons, including estimation error, characteristics of the examinee samples, and context effects (e.g., item location effects, section location effects, etc.). Although we expect variation based on theory, there is reason to believe that observed variation in item parameter estimates exceeds what…

Wisniewski, Zeda G.; Smith, Denise – 2002
This action research study examined the effectiveness of Touch Math, a math series that emphasizes use of manipulatives, to improve mathematics achievement with four third or fourth grade students with special needs (either mild mental retardation, learning disability, or health impairment). The students received mathematics instruction for 45…

Mosquin, Paul; Chromy, James – American Institutes for Research, 2004
This paper addresses statistical aspects of the No Child Left Behind (NCLB) Act (Bush, 2001), with the following goals: to further the discussion on how gaps in performance might be defined and to offer candidate gap estimators, to evaluate candidate gap estimators with respect to three separate student performance measures, to provide…

Haertel, Edward H. – National Assessment Governing Board, 2003
The paper initially describes the sources of uncertainty in National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) data and standard errors. As NAEP sample sizes have increased, greater precision has been attained by the program. For this reason, exclusion effects are increasingly important. Two scenarios of revised NAEP results are presented (for New…

Smith, Susan Sperry – 1998
Most experts believe that young children possess a substantial amount of informal knowledge about mathematics. The teacher's role is to create a link between children's ability to use informal math and the ability to understand the more formal math taught in elementary school. Teachers must help children construct and elaborate upon what they…
