This is part one of a two-part manual for teachers using SMSG text materials for grade 9 students whose mathematical talents are underdeveloped. The overall purpose for each of the chapters is described and the mathematical development detailed. Background information for key concepts, answers for all exercises in each chapter, and suggested test…

This guide for a mathematics curriculum for grades 1-4 presents topics in sequential order for the entire four-year program. Grade level was not used for separating units; instead, an integrated sequencing of concepts was used in preparing this guide. The relationship between units is specified for the teacher as an explicit mapping of how a…

This guide is organized around six concepts: sets, numbers and numeration; operations, their properties and number theory; relations and functions; geometry; measurement; and probability and statistics. Objectives and sample activities are presented for each concept. Separate sections deal with the processes of problem solving and computation. A…

This publication put out by the Association for Childhood Education International contains articles dealing with ways to help children overcome sex-role stereotypes. The articles deal with both theoretical and practical issues around the topic of how children acquire sex-stereotypic concepts and what possibilities exist for changing them. The…

This document is a report on a course in nuclear science for the high school curriculum. The course is designed to provide a basic but comprehensive understanding of the atom in the light of modern knowledge, and to show how people attempt to harness the tremendous energy liberated through fission and fusion reactions. The course crosses what are…

Designed for the student who has completed the geometry series in the Quinmester Program, this guidebook on minimum course content provides an investigation of challenging mathematical activities which are not usually developed in other mathematics courses. The content includes brainteasers, puzzles, and game theory. Overall course objectives are…

This comprehensive guide to the teaching of nuclear science at the secondary level includes recommendations on teaching methods, course and laboratory objectives, textbooks, audiovisual aids, laboratory equipment and experiments, and safety precautions. (MH)

This document is one of six which set forth the mathematics components of the Project SEARCH Articulated Curriculum developed by the Utica (New York) City School District. Each volume deals with a broad area of mathematics and lists objectives related to that area for all grades from K through 12. Each objective listed is described first in…

Behavioral objectives are specified for 82 topics in mathematics to be covered in grades 7 through 9. A general objective is given for each, followed by specific behavioral objectives with suggested activities. Topics include number properties and operations, geometry, number theory, algebra, set theory, ratio, proportion and percent, the metric…
