Scott, Patrick B. – School Science and Mathematics, 1987
Reports results from a survey undertaken in 1984 to determine the use of mathematics materials by elementary teachers. Compares results with a similar 1981 survey. Findings indicate a perceived increase in use of mathematics materials once kits are purchased and inservice is provided. (ML)

Hernandez, Norma G. – School Science and Mathematics, 1985
The use of a variety of models to develop number concepts is advocated. Four models are discussed, with illustrations: the cardinal number of a set, Cuisenaire rods, the number line, and the Papy Minicomputer. (MNS)

Rouse, William – School Science and Mathematics, 1972
The mathematics laboratory is described as being not just the use of concrete teaching aids but involving a new philosophy of how children learn and the teacher's role in the facilitation of learning. (CP)

Hennemann, A. Louise; Hennemann, Willard – School Science and Mathematics, 1983
Use of the hand-dialed, transparent, nonelectronic SEE-Calculator is proposed. Pupils can dial numbers into appropriate columns, watching the gears work; place-value concepts are enhanced. Both activities and flowcharting are suggested. (MNS)

Scott, Patrick B. – School Science and Mathematics, 1983
Results indicated among other things, that: (1) most teachers use few materials other than textbooks in mathematics instruction; (2) use of most materials tends to decrease as grade level increases; (3) calculators are rarely used, but usage tends to increase with grade level; and (4) most teachers reported they want more materials.

Wiebe, James H. – School Science and Mathematics, 1981
Questionnaires were administered to 22 elementary teachers to determine: (1) what kind of manipulative materials they had in their classrooms; (2) frequency of use; (3) way they were used; and (4) who used them. Findings indicate manipulative materials, when available, were infrequently used or were used for deductive, skills/fact-oriented…

Harty, Harold; And Others – School Science and Mathematics, 1988
Investigates superintendents' needs in mathematics and science instruction. Used was a Likert-type questionnaire covering teacher quality, teacher supply, minority access, materials and equipment, and curriculum for non-academic students. A follow-up telephone survey examined the types of materials and equipment most needed. (YP)

Garcia, Jesus; And Others – School Science and Mathematics, 1990
Examines whether elementary textbooks enhance a socially active mathematics education program. Reports that young females and minorities are adequately portrayed in five mathematics textbook series; representation of careers, however, is less than adequate. Sixteen references are listed. (YP)
