A new set of problem cards intended to bridge the gap between Nuffield assignments in primary mathematics and secondary mathematics courses is described. (DT)

The history of alligation problems as a part of the mathematics curriculum is briefly reviewed, and the non-unique nature of the solutions to many problems is discussed. (SD)

The possibility of preparing a set of word problems of a predicted level of difficulty based on six variables (for multiplication, division, recall, conversions, operations, and number of words in the problem statement) and on regression equations developed in previous work was investigated. Four problem sets were used in grades four through six,…

This booklet was designed for the use of junior high school or high school students. Detailed, step-by-step instructions are given for using the computer, for writing programs in BASIC, and for using the various commands in the BASIC language. A list of 75 computer programing ideas in varying degrees of difficulty is presented in the index. (MP)

This book contains the tenth chapter of a pilot mathematics sequence for the seventh and eighth grades. The content of the sequence is to serve as a vehicle for the development of relevant computational skills, mathematical reasoning, and geometric perception in three dimensions and is to reflect the application of mathematics to the social and…

This volume, a part of the Elements of Mathematics Program (EM), contains 200 problems which require no special training beyond elementary mathematics, but often careful analysis and some ingenuity. The statements of some problems involve functional notation, but most are stated either in prose or prose accompanied by illustrations. Problems are…

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…

The sixteen chapters of this book provide the core material for the Elements of Mathematics Program, a secondary sequence developed for highly motivated students with strong verbal abilities. The sequence is based on a functional-relational approach to mathematics teaching, and emphasizes teaching by analysis of real-life situations. This text is…
