This text is one of the sequence of textbooks produced for low achievers in the seventh and eighth grades by the School Mathematics Study Group (SMSG). There are eight texts in the sequence, of which this is the seventh. This set of volumes differs from the regular editions of SMSG junior high school texts in that very little reading is required.…

This pamphlet consists of 17 brief chapters, each containing a discussion of a numeration system and a set of problems on the use of that system. The numeration systems used include Egyptian fractions, ordinary continued fractions and variants of that method, and systems using positive and negative bases. The book is informal and addressed to…

One of 12 books developed for use with the core material (Book O) of the Elements of Mathematics Program, this text covers material well beyond the scope of the usual secondary mathematics sequences. These materials are designed for highly motivated students with strong verbal abilities; mathematical theories and ideas are developed through…

This is one in a series of SMSG supplementary and enrichment pamphlets for high school students. This series is designed to make material for the study of topics of special interest to students readily accessible in classroom quantity. Topics covered include natural numbers, positive integers, sets, well ordering, lower bound, upper bound,…

Limited systematic instruction was provided for two third-grade classes on a calculator-assisted approach to solving selected types of simple open addition and subtraction sentences involving three-place whole-number addends, moving from a Guess-and-Test procedure to more direct and efficient sentential transformations. Pupils exhibited a…

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…

This is volume one of a three-volume SMSG junior high school mathematics text. This volume contains units concerned with the structure of the number systems of arithmetic. Unit topics include: (1) numeration; (2) natural numbers and zero; (3) factoring and primes; (4) supplementary tests for divisibility and repeating decimals; (5) the…

This guide contains an outline of topics to be included in individual subject areas in secondary school mathematics and some specific suggestions for teaching them. Areas covered include--(1) fundamentals of mathematics included in seventh and eighth grades and general mathematics in the high school, (2) algebra concepts for courses one and two,…

This curriculum guide for grades K-6 is the first volume of a two-part series. It is meant to provide an ordered sequence of mathematical concepts from which teachers may organize an arithmetic program allowing for individual student progress with the greatest amount of individual attention. Each topic is arranged into levels based on the topic's…

This volume presents a partial description of the lessons in the preliminary version of the PLATO fractions curriculum. Each lesson has three parts: review, new material, and a student-selected option. Students receive immediate feedback from the computer as they progress through each lesson. Five groups of lessons are described: meaning of…
