The performance of students from three intelligence levels at grades 4, 5, 6, and 7 on certain discovery tasks in arithmetics are examined. Results indicate that students should be given from 3 to 6 instances to make discoveries of the type tested and that students of lower intelligence levels can form generalizations. (FL)

A study designed to investigate a method examining some of the processes involved in students' forming of mathematical concepts in an experimental mathematics course. Results suggest that the card sorting task offers a useful tool for use in evaluation programs. (FL)

This study investigated the relationship between conservation of length and impulsive-reflectivity. Kindergarten and first-grade students were administered two conservation of length tasks and an impulsive-reflexive scale. No statistically significant relationship between the two concepts was found. (FL)

Examined were differential performances among categories of first graders when solving arithmetical workd problems of eight types under two distinct conditions. The categories were based on various types of quantitative comparisons which children are known to make. Several statistically significant results were obtained involving differences…

The author seeks to clarify the aims and values of status studies, such as the IEA Study of Mathematics Achievement, which deals primarily with administrative variables. He states the value of such a study is in providing administrators with a basis for decision making. (Author/CT)

Investigated are the statistical findings of the IEA International Study of Mathematics Achievement and their implications in the areas of school organization, curriculum and instruction, and socioeconmic factors. Also given are a number of criticisms of the study and its significance. (CT)

The author argues that the published data analyses of the IEA International Study of Mathematics Achievement is almost totally inappropriate. He proceeds to reanalyze the data, taking into account that the test was not equally appropriate for all countries. His results are strikingly different from the published results. (CT)

Presented are implications for mathematics educators of the IEA International Study of Mathematics Achievement. Some implications for research which are discussed include the sampling procedures, the research design, the instruments, taxonomies, and the opportunity to learn" notion. (CT)

The author examines the tests of the IEA International Study of Mathematics Achievement that were given to the 13-year-old subjects. In particular, he investigates the appropriateness of the tests for U.S. students and concludes that with respect to the material for which the U.S. students should be held responsible, they did well.

Computer applications in music, especially with regard to research in music folklore, are discussed. (CK)

One professor's ideas on music are expounded. (CK)
