This bulletin provides a review of research related to teaching mathematics to disadvantaged students at the elementary school level. The review is organized around a set of questions which are appropriate to ask in relation to disadvantaged students. These questions include: 1) What is the mathematical status of the environmentally disadvantaged?…

Research on when and how geometric concepts are learned is briefly discussed. Several teaching suggestions are included. (MNS)

Included are a list of research summaries and annotations of articles and dissertations listed by author within each category. For each reference, the grade or age level is indicated. Articles and dissertations are indexed by mathematics education topics, and a list of the journals covered is included. Over 400 references are cited. (CW)

This digest reviews the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics'"Curriculum and Evaluation Standards for School Mathematics." Topics summarized are: (1) rationale; (2) underlying assumptions; (3) five goals for students; (4) framework for curriculum; (5) standards for each grade cluster; (6) standards for general assessment, student…

Many school staff and their client communities are concerned about pupil achievement, skills, and attitudes related to mathematics. To respond to these concerns, staff need to determine how they can improve their elementary mathematics programs by modifying the content and skills emphasized in the curriculum, changing and supplementing…

This booklet consists of 11 bulletins designed to answer questions which teachers frequently ask about the learning and teaching of mathematics. (The bulletins are revisions of a set originally published in 1970.) Each bulletin is organized around a central topic, and presents questions related to that topic, summaries of research findings…

This eighth annual listing of research on mathematics education is organized alphabetically by author(s) within three categories: research summaries, journal-published reports, and dissertation abstracts. Grade or age level is indicated for each reference. Studies specific to mathematics are annotated. A general topics index is included. (MN)

A study on the use of individualization using programmed materials with individuals or cooperative learning teams is briefly described, with the findings noted. (MNS)

Included are a list of research summaries and annotations of articles and dissertations listed by author within each category. Grade or age levels are indicated for each level. Articles and dissertations are indexed by mathematics education topics, and a list of the journals covered is included. Over 400 references are reported. (MDH)

This digest suggests that research findings can provide teachers with verification and clarification of how children learn mathematics, and thus how to teach mathematics more effectively. Three topics are discussed: (1) number concepts; (2) problem solving; and (3) manipulative materials. (PK)

This annual annotated listing of research on mathematics education is organized alphabetically by author(s) within three categories (research summaries, journal-published reports, and dissertation abstracts), with grade or age indicated for each reference. An index for mathematical topics is included. (MP)

Non-commercial investigator-developed tests and other instruments to assess mathematical instruction, reported in journals and dissertations from 1964 through 1973, are listed. For approximately 200 instruments, information on content, format, sample, reliability, correlations, and validity is included, as well as references. Other instruments for…

Lists 20 articles summarizing research, one listing of research papers, 203 journal articles, and 342 doctoral dissertations on mathematics education, each with a short annotation. All are dated 1985. (JM)

This document consists of eleven bulletins which present answers to questions about research on the teaching and content of elementary school mathematics, K-8. The bulletins are revisions of a set originally published in 1970 and revised in 1975. Specific research findings on eleven topics are cited with selected references. Titles are: (1)…

Five regional conferences designed for elementary supervisors and elementary mathematics educators were held in Ohio. The purposes of the conferences were: (1) to provide direction on the effective use of the calculator in the elementary school classroom; (2) to re-emphasize the importance of problem solving as a major curricular outcome; (3) to…
