The focus is on using the hundred chart to discover patterns, make predictions and generalizations, and visualize the number system in an organized manner. Four worksheets are on even-odd numbers (Levels 1-2), digits (Levels 3-5 and 5-6), and percentages (Levels 7-8). (MNS)

This textbook of Nepali lessons is a revision of a text originally developed in 1965. Materials are divided into seven units and are organized to follow an audiolingual approach with pattern drills. The numeric system of Nepali is also outlined. A Nepali-English glossary is included, with both romanized and script versions of Nepali words, as well…

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 teaching guide is for the instructor of an introductory course in computer programming using FORTRAN language. Five FORTRAN programs are incorporated in this guide, which has been used as a FORTRAN IV SELF TEACHER. The base eight, base four, and base two concepts are integrated with FORTRAN computer programs, geoblock activities, and related…

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…

A set of ten teacher-prepared Learning Activity Packages (LAPs) for individualized instruction in topics in pre-algebra, the units cover the decimal numeration system; number theory; fractions and decimals; ratio, proportion, and percent; sets; properties of operations; rational numbers; real numbers; open expressions; and open rational…

A set of ten teacher-prepared Learning Activity Packages (LAPs) in beginning algebra and nine in intermediate algebra, these units cover sets, properties of operations, number systems, open expressions, solution sets of equations and inequalities in one and two variables, exponents, factoring and polynomials, relations and functions, radicals,…

This fifth unit in the SMSG junior high mathematics series is a student text covering the following topics: rational numbers and coordinates; equations; scientific notation, decimals, and the metric system; constructions, congruent triangles, and the Pythagorean property; relative error; and real numbers. (DT)

Several methods of teaching college-level mathematics sequences are examined for their advantages, disadvantages, and costs. Materials considered include textbooks, film sequences, videotaped lectures, and individualized teaching machines. (SD)

This set of 11 teacher-prepared Learning Activity Packages (LAPs) in intermediate algebra covers number systems; exponents and radicals; polynomials and factoring; rational expressions; coordinate geometry; relations, functions, and inequalities; quadratic equations and inequalities; Quadratic functions; systems of equations and inequalities;…

A set of 11 teacher-prepared Learning Activity Packages (LAPs) in beginning algebra, these units cover sets, properties of operations, operations over real numbers, open expressions, solution sets of equations and inequalities, equations and inequalities with two variables, solution sets of equations with two variables, exponents, factoring and…

IN THIS STUDY ON THE EFFECTS OF STRUCTURE AND SEQUENCE ON ADULT LEARNING, 96 ADULTS UNFAMILIAR WITH NUMBER BASES AND RANGING IN AGE FROM 23 TO 53 WERE RANDOMLY ASSIGNED TO FOUR DIFFERENTIALLY STRUCTURED INTRODUCTORY MATERIALS (HISTORY OF MEASUREMENT, BASE TEN, BASE SEVEN, OR PRINCIPLES OF NUMBER BASES) AND TO THREE DIFFERENTIALLY SEQUENCED…

Fourth grade children (n=20) were matched on a pretest and randomly assigned to either a wooden base-10 block or computerized microworld group. Instruction was designed to establish relationships between notation and meaning, extending whole number numeration to decimal numeration. Neither group changed whole-number notational methods nor had…

This intensive course is designed to teach students to understand and speak Chad Arabic. The course is intended to be covered in approximately 360 hours in the classroom and the language laboratory. About 90 hours should be occupied with the pre-speech phase, which emphasizes passive recognition rather than active production. This phase consists…
