This annotated listing of research in mathematics education is divided into the three categories of (1) research summaries, (2) journal-published reports, and (3) dissertation abstracts. Following each annotation is an indication of the grade or age level involved in the study. (JG)

On behalf of the Editorial Panel of the "Arithmetic Teacher," the authors outline a concensus concerning the importance of computational skills in the mathematics curriculum. Ten specific points are made concerning the needs of the student, classroom practice, the nature of computational learning, and needed research. (SD)

Research reported during the 1973 calender year is listed, accompanied by brief annotations of findings. The listing is alphabetical by author within each of three categories: research summaries, journal-published reports, and dissertation abstracts. (Author/LS)

Research on mathematics learning is integrated and organized around groups of questions emerging from the primary classroom. Subjects covered include attitudes, diagnosis, readiness, effective use of concrete and manipulative materials, the role of language and vocabulary, presentation of specific content and techniques, selection of algorithms…

This annotated bibliography lists research related to mathematics teaching and learning which was published in the United States during 1973. The listing covers the levels K-12, and is divided into three major sections. The first section lists research summaries which review groups of research studies. The second section contains research reports…

Research indicates that calculators can promote mathematics achievement. Some topics with which calculators can aid are briefly discussed: problem solving, number ideas, counting, basic facts, and computation with whole numbers and decimals. (MNS)

Research on the use of review is briefly summarized. Some guidelines for planning review work are listed, and five types of effective review are noted: outlines, questions, varied grouping, varied content, and games. (MNS)

Findings from a review of 47 studies of compensatory education programs, most including work in mathematics, are briefly reported. (MNS)

This article lists and annotates 122 dissertations, 63 journal-published reports, and 16 research summaries which deal with research in elementary school mathematics. All cited references were published during 1969. (RS)

Material included in this bulletin provides an overview of research studies which pertain to teaching addition and subtraction of whole numbers in the primary grades. The studies mentioned relate directly to the following questions: (1) What foundation for addition and subtraction do children have upon entering school? (2) What is the relative…

A review of research reported in 1970, which might be used by the elementary teacher in facilitating mathematics learning is presented. There are 16 basic categories of research included: teaching mathematical operations; children's perception of geometric representation; curriculum sequencing; teaching of non-decimal numeration; variables which…

An annual annotated listing of research summaries, journal-published reports, and dissertation abstracts published in the United States which pertain to mathematics education and which have some implication either for school mathematics programs or for instruction. (DT)

Research conducted in grades K-8 on activity-based teaching approaches, including studies on the use of manipulative materials, is reviewed and synthesized in this report. On the basis of the synthesis, it was concluded that lessons using manipulative materials have a higher probability of producing greater mathematical achievement than do…

This document discusses the role and the scope of evaluation in the mathematics classroom. The scope of mathematics objectives to be evaluated, the scope of evaluation purposes in the mathematics classroom, and the scope of evaluation procedures are noted. Specific comments are made on various procedures: observations, interviews, inventories and…
