Begle, E. G.; And Others – 1975
Examined were the effects of varying the number of practice problems in a programed unit on negative bases designed for high school students. A sample of 421 students from grades 9 through 12 was divided into three groups on the basis of amount of mathematics coursework completed. Students were given four pretests (numeration, arithmetic…

Secondary School Mathematics Curriculum Improvement Study, New York, NY. – 1968
This is Part 1 of the first course in a series which focuses on building fundamental mathematical structures. The arithmetic studied in elementary school along with modular arithmetic is examined and set notation and mappings of sets are presented. Mathematical group structures are introduced. Points and numbers are related both on a line and in a…
