When it comes to using software to enhance the learning and teaching of mathematics it is all too easy to "talk the talk", but "walking the walk" is something else. There are many pertinent problems associated with accessibility, robust systems, curriculum time, classroom management, software familiarity and intuitive usage to name but a few.…

The purpose of this paper is to provide brief descriptions and links to a number of reputed websites on various topics and issues of special education. The web sites are organized in the following categories: (1) Teaching in Inclusive Classroom, (2) Policies, Procedures, & Process of Special education, (3) Students with High Incidence…

A substantial resource is provided for those concerned with mathematics teaching in bilingual programs. Part I provides a concise overview of the issues and problems involved in the teaching of mathematics in bilingual classrooms. It begins with a brief description of the field of bilingual education and then considers the role of mathematics…

The author reviews a selection of mathematical problem books currently available. Methods of teaching mathematics courses based on problem solving are covered along with suggestions on how to conduct problem seminars. (MP)

This annotated bibliography provides journal references on how children learn mathematics and about diagnostic and remedial techniques for teaching mathematics, particularly at the elementary school level. A large number of the articles report research in diagnostic and prescriptive mathematics. (MNS)

Provides an annotated list of resources to aid in teaching mathematics, including Web site addresses for the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics, the Eisenhower National Clearinghouse for Mathematics and Science Education, and the Association of Teachers of Mathematics, United Kingdom. (NB)

This annotated bibliography contains 12 references on computers in elementary school mathematics. Topics include developing mathematical concepts with microcomputer activities, teaching mathematics with computers in primary grades, microcomputers and problem solving, review for grade 1 software, early learning of logic and geometry using…

Provides an annotated bibliography of references which deal with specific topics for educators using computers in the classroom in teaching mathematics and science. Also appropriate for researchers gathering background material for the preparation of articles, grant proposals, and presentations. (TW)

Discusses the duality of mental processes, learning styles and brain research (concerning brain growth, hemispheric specialization, and sex differences) as they apply to teaching mathematics. Discusses the implications of these topics as well as individual learning styles and basics-versus-creative school curricula for curriculum development. (WAS)

This second annotated bibliography provides references to articles, books, dissertations, and presentations published since the first bibliography appeared in 1979. The focus is again on how children learn mathematics and on diagnostic and remedial techniques for teaching mathematics, particularly at the elementary school level. Many research…

This syllabus describes a course designed for the student interested in teaching mathematics at the secondary level and includes both campus centered activities and a field experience. The professor teaching this class is expected to "bridge the gap" between theory in the college classroom and practice as viewed in the secondary school. The…

Among teachers of mathematics throughout the world there has recently been manifested a notable increase of interest in all educational work. This interest is due in part to the present general agitation in every educational line, in part to the influence of such related departments as physics, in part to the increased demands of industry, and in…

This study is an annotated bibliography of literature dealing with the effects of teaching mathematics by mastery learning. It is subdivided into four areas: History and Development of Mastery Learning; Mastery Learning, an Alternative to Traditional Instruction; Implementation of Mastery Learning; and Studies of Mastery Learning in Mathematics.…

This resource directory is designed to serve as a guide for vocational educators who are in need of additional instructional material for use in teaching mathematics or vocationally oriented mathematics in their classes. Provided first is a user's guide that outlines the purpose and organization of the directory and gives instructions for its use.…

Presented is a summary of research and recommendations concerning questions that are frequently asked by teachers and administrators about the learning and teaching of mathematics. Six areas are analyzed: planning for instruction, instructional procedures, differentiating instruction, methods of instruction, problem solving, and evaluation. The…
