This is one of a series of student booklets designed for use in a bilingual mathematics program in grades 6-8. The general format is to present each page in both Spanish and English. The mathematical topics in this booklet include graphing on a number line, place value, using exponents, flow charts, and Roman numerals. (MK)

P-adic or g-adic sets are sets of elements formed by linear combinations of powers of p, a prime number, or g, a counting number, where the coefficients are whole numbers less than p or g. Discusses exercises illustrating basic numerical operations for p-adic and g-adic sets. Provides BASIC computer programs to verify the solutions. (MDH)

The kindergarten level curriculum guide for bilingual education of Arabic-speaking children in the Chicago public schools is divided into two difficulty levels and is designed to facilitate acquisition of mathematical concepts by presenting them in the children's native language. At each level, the concepts covered include the meaning of numbers,…

The Calculators in Primary Mathematics Project was a long-term investigation into the effects of the introduction of calculators on the learning and teaching of primary mathematics. The Australian project commenced with children who were in kindergarten and grade 1 in 1990, moving up through the schools to grade 4 level by 1993. Children were…

This brief report from the Indigenous Mathematics Project focuses on the way in which numerical reasoning is changing in the Oksapmin community of Papua New Guinea as a function of participation in new social institutions: economic exchange with currency and enrollment in school. Each of these new institutions means that arithmetic problems are…

This paper examines how Ciulistet, a group of Yup'ik Eskimo elders, teachers, aides, and university collaborators, has slowly begun transforming education in southwest Alaska. Specifically, this paper shows how this indigenous group has produced, interpreted, and applied ancient Yup'ik wisdom to the modern context of schooling. Formally…

Hypothesizes that exploring the mathematical ideas behind mathematical terms enables children to gain insight into the structure of a number system and provides a basis for powerful playing with this structure. Describes visualizing mathematical ideas for exploring aspects of mathematics. Offers rectangular numbers to link and explore structures…

The Ciulistet, an Alaska Native teachers' research group, focused on the development of Yup'ik culturally based mathematics. Examines difficulties in interpreting Yup'ik knowledge to school-based mathematics, theoretical implications for indigenous education, and the process of culturally negotiating context and content of schooling. Describes the…

This document provides a listing of the revised sequence of mathematics skills to be taught in grades K-6 in the Lancaster (Pennsylvania) School District. For each level the individual skills are grouped into categories, listed in sequence, and cross-referenced to specific pages in three mathematics textbook series. The categories of skills relate…

The Sequential Mathematics Sequence provides an integrated course of study for grades 9-11 in New York City. This document presents lesson plans for part one of the first-year course, designed for ninth grade. The curriculum interweaves algebra, geometry, logic, probability, statistics, and trigonometry, with the emphasis in the 60 lessons in this…

This two-volume teacher's guide is to be used with a second-semester, sixth-grade mathematics program. The manner of presentation and the pedagogical ideas and tools are based on the works of Georges and Frederique Papy. They are recognized as having introduced colored arrow drawings ("papygrams") and models of our numeration system (the…

This document includes statements of philosophy and a rationale for the Alberta (Canada) junior high school mathematics program, goals and objectives, a discussion of appropriate content and methods, and a delineation of content using six strands. These include: (1) problem solving; (2) number systems and operations; (3) ratio and proportion; (4)…
