This is volume one of a three-volume set for teachers using SMSG junior high school text materials. Each unit contains a commentary on the text, answers to all the exercises, a copy of the questionnaire used for evaluating the material, and a summary of comments by the teachers using the text. Unit topics include: (1) numeration; (2) natural…

This manual was designed for use by teachers using the School Mathematics Study Group's (SMSG) special text series for low achievers in grades 7 and 8; it covers chapters 10 through 18 of that series. The manual begins with introductory material describing characteristics of low-achieving students and suggested instructional approaches. Testing…

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 sixth. This set of volumes differs from the regular editions of SMSG junior high school texts in that very little reading is required.…

The Minnesota School Mathematics and Science Teaching (MINNEMAST) Project is characterized by its emphasis on the coordination of mathematics and science in the elementary school curriculum. Units are planned to provide children with activities in which they learn various concepts from both subject areas. Each subject is used to support and…

This first unit in the SMSG's junior high mathematics series is a student text covering the following topics: what is mathematics?; numeration; whole numbers; non-metric geometry; factoring and primes; the rational number system; measurement; and area, volume, weight, and time. (DT)

This teacher-prepared Learning Activity Package (LAP) for individualized instruction in topics in pre-algebra covers the natural numbers, whole numbers, and integers. The unit contains a rationale for the material, a list of behavioral objectives, a list of resources including texts (with reading assignments and problem sets specified) and tape…

Behavioral objectives are listed for the primary, intermediate and junior high mathematics curriculum in the Mesa Public Schools (Arizona). Lists of specific objectives are given by level for sets, symbol recognition, number operations, mathematical structures, measurement and problem solving skills. (JP)
