The predicted and actual achievement in college calculus is compared for students who had studied two semesters of calculus in high school. The regression equation used for prediction was calculated from the performance data of similar students who had not had high school calculus. (CT)

Examined were the mental processes by which elementary school students work simple multiplication exercises. Ten process models were fit to data obtained in the course of a CAI program in elementary arithmetic. The processes used by students in grade three were compared with those used by students in grade six. (CT)

Reported is a study to determine if a pupil's mathematics self-concept is related to his mathematics achievement and if this relation is more significant than his self-concept of ability in social studies is to his mathematics achievement. Procedures, data analysis and conclusions are presented. (JG)

Evaluated were measures of mathematical ability of college freshmen for effectiveness of predicting performance in a televised pre-calculus course. A Two-stage sequential selection model is developed which yields gains in predictability over other models. (JG)

Alternate hypotheses are given for Neale's findings that attitudes toward mathematics have little effect on achievement. A schemata of proposed research on affective factors in mathematics learning is presented. (JG)
