Junior Certificate Technical Graphics was introduced in Ireland in 1991 and aimed to develop innovative problem solving aptitudes and knowledge of plane and descriptive geometry (NCCA 1991). Despite the philosophy of breadth and balance (NCCA 2004) associated with educational outcomes in the Junior Certificate curriculum, many subjects, Technical…

This study examines the relationship between performance on Utah's English proficiency assessment and English language arts and mathematics content assessments by English language learner students and compares the performance of English language learner and non-English language learner students on the content assessments. Two research questions…

These proceedings contain the papers of the International Conference e-Learning 2014, which was organised by the International Association for Development of the Information Society and is part of the Multi Conference on Computer Science and Information Systems (Lisbon, Portugal July 15-19, 2014). The e-Learning 2014 conference aims to address the…

An assessment was made of the psychometric and educational quality of all high school level tests of general mathematics, applied mathematics, algebra and geometry. The study was part of a large-scale project involving evaluations of all standardized secondary school tests available in the United States. Assessments revealed most tests to be low…

Examines the roles of experimental tasks in "Elementary Geometry" (1903) by Godfrey and Siddons, which is considered one of the most important geometry textbooks in the history of geometry teaching. Roles of experimental tasks included preparations for deductive geometry and, even though it is implicit, the verification of geometrical facts.…

Developed by experienced migrant education teachers incorporating Sight and Sound Program concepts and Migrant Skills List numbers, this volume presents predrafted individual short-term Plan/Records for secondary level mathematics, algebra, and geometry, plus step-by-step directions for their use by Oregon resource teachers, classroom teachers,…

Analyzes college geometry courses with regard to content, pedagogy, and assessment based on 30 syllabi and 108 questionnaire responses from randomly selected U.S. colleges and universities. Concludes that common characteristics are evident but wide diversity exists. Notes that a typical geometry course did not emerge from the data. (Contains 20…

Demonstrates how instruction in writing paragraph proofs can be developed and implemented including organizing, writing proofs in paragraphs, evaluating a proof, sketching a proof, and drawing conclusions. (MKR)

A new one-semester course in geometry was designed, less axiomatic in structure yet including content traditionally contained in a first course in geometry. Conducting original investigations, constructing definitions, developing arguments to explain relationships, and creating resource materials are additional objectives, with many experiences in…

Reviews three geometry textbooks in order to examine both the quantity and content of algebra review. Concludes that although the books incorporate a great deal of algebra, much of it is noncontextual review. (ASK)

Extracts from booklets providing critical reviews of and recommendations related to textbooks of the Nuffield Mathematics Project are presented. (SD)

Presents a project that addresses several components of the Algebra and Communication Standards for Grades 9-12 presented in Principles and Standards for School Mathematics (NCTM, 2000). Describes doing mathematical modeling and using the language of mathematics to express a recursive relationship in the perimeter and area of the Koch snowflake.…

Reports on the design and trialing of a Hypercard testing procedure known as the Recognition and Testing System (RATS) that will enable mathematics teachers and researchers to generate data relating to domain knowledge representation and its access by focusing on students' knowledge of plane geometry and trigonometry. Contains 11 references.…

Pilot research using a draft version of the Mathematics Inventory is discussed in this report. The Mathematics Inventory is a self evaluation instrument which covers five major subject areas: elementary algebra, intermediate/advanced algebra, plane and solid geometry, trigonometry, and coordinate geometry and functions. The instrument is…
