This project was coordinated and funded by the California Partnership for Achieving Student Success (Cal-PASS). Cal-PASS is a data sharing system linking all segments of education. Its purpose is to improve student transition and success from one educational segment to the next. Cal-PASS' standards deconstruction project was initiated by the…

This paper is written on a level accessible to college/university students of mathematics who are taking second-year, algebra based, mathematics courses beyond calculus I. This article combines material from geometry, trigonometry, and number theory. This integration of various techniques is an excellent experience for the serious student. The…

This course syllabus is for five 18-week courses in the Metal Fabrication Program at Northeast Wisconsin Technical College (NWTC): (1) metal fabrication I; (2) blueprint reading and sketching; (3) applied layout tech I; (4) metal fabrication II; and (5) applied layout tech II. Each syllabus contains some or all of the following: (1) course…

The use of paper folding to study properties of geometric solids is discussed. (SD)

This workbook is designed to be used as a review at the end of a college level course in algebra and trigonometry. Four review sheets containing 117 problems provide hints and detailed solutions for each problem. (YP)

Techniques are suggested for preparing practice exercises in algebra and trigonometry. (JP)

Low cost microcomputers with high resolution graphics provide students and educators with fast and accurate visual representations of mathematics relations and extend the benefits of discovery learning into the high school and college mathematics classroom. A recent challenge has been to use the computer in motivating students and teaching…

THIS BOOKLET, ONE OF A SERIES, HAS BEEN DEVELOPED FOR THE PROJECT, A PROGRAM FOR MATHEMATICALLY UNDERDEVELOPED PUPILS. A PROJECT TEAM, INCLUDING INSERVICE TEACHERS, IS BEING USED TO WRITE AND DEVELOP THE MATERIALS FOR THIS PROGRAM. THE MATERIALS DEVELOPED IN THIS BOOKLET INCLUDE SUCH CONCEPTS AS (1) VARIOUS UNITS OF MEASURE, (2) FINDING AREAS OF…

This course is part of an engineering certification program for men inspecting construction projects. It presumes some high school training in mathematics and science. The course begins with examples showing the importance of mathematics on the job. Following that is a section on algebra, one on geometry, and one on trigonometry. (KM)

The second part of Course III includes a study of probability, polynomial, rational and circular functions, and informal space geometry. The chapter on probability presents such topics as probability measure, outcome sets and events, and overview of topics studied in Courses I and II. Chapters on functions include polynomial algebra concepts and…

Research was conducted to develop a means of identifying, upon entry into the course, the students most likely not to succeed in trigonometry, with the intention of using the prediction to apply an intervention strategy. A 64-item questionnaire was developed and administered to a sample of students enrolled in the course in the winter 1973…

This twentieth unit in the SMSG secondary school mathematics series is the teacher's commentary for Unit 18. For each of the chapters in Unit 18, the goals for that chapter are discussed, the mathematics is explained, some teaching suggestions are given, answers to exercises are provided, and sample text questions are included.
