A Study Of The Effect Of Teaching Specific Reading Skills Peculiar To Arithmetic At The Third Grade Level, Helen Gillum Dec 1965

A Study Of The Effect Of Teaching Specific Reading Skills Peculiar To Arithmetic At The Third Grade Level, Helen Gillum

All Master's Theses

It was the purpose of this study to attempt to show the need for teaching specific reading skills to further arithmetic understanding and achievement.


The Development Of Arithmetical Concepts With Use Of Manipulative Materials, Elsie O. Deatherage Aug 1965

The Development Of Arithmetical Concepts With Use Of Manipulative Materials, Elsie O. Deatherage

Graduate Student Research Papers

It was the purpose of this paper to show how manipulative aids were used to develop arithmetic concepts in a first grade in Selah, Washington. These arithmetic concepts are widely used in grade one according to Gunderson and Hollister, Edwina Deans, Grossnickle, and others.


Individual Instruction: Third Grade Arithmetic, Dorothy M. Thompson Aug 1965

Individual Instruction: Third Grade Arithmetic, Dorothy M. Thompson

All Master's Theses

This report reviews the various methods used for meeting individual needs through individualized instruction. Special note is taken of those most usable for individualizing arithmetic instruction. Those of value for use in a third grade room are dealt with in detail.


A Study Of The Relative Achievement Of Students Enrolled In Senior High School Physical Science Courses, Raymond David Perkins Aug 1965

A Study Of The Relative Achievement Of Students Enrolled In Senior High School Physical Science Courses, Raymond David Perkins

All Master's Theses

The purpose of this study is to analyze the relative achievement in understanding of physical science concepts among senior high school students who have taken courses in chemistry, physics and earth science.


A Comparative Study Of The Contents Of Seventh Grade Modern Mathematics Texts And Their Effect On The Transfer Student, John E. Kerslake Aug 1965

A Comparative Study Of The Contents Of Seventh Grade Modern Mathematics Texts And Their Effect On The Transfer Student, John E. Kerslake

All Master's Theses

It was the purpose of this study: (1) to examine the contents of the newly published modern mathematics textbooks for the seventh grade level; (2) to compare the contents of a representative selection of these texts in regard to the sequence and variety of the topics covered; and (3) to show the probability of the effect this would have on a transfer student.


A Comparative Study Of The Arithmetic Achievement And Attitude Of Fifth Grade Children In The Upper And Lower 25 Per Cent Intelligence Groups Using The S.M.S.G Program Of Teaching Arithmetic And The Traditional Methods Used In The Highline School District, Ralph Lewis Wood Aug 1965

A Comparative Study Of The Arithmetic Achievement And Attitude Of Fifth Grade Children In The Upper And Lower 25 Per Cent Intelligence Groups Using The S.M.S.G Program Of Teaching Arithmetic And The Traditional Methods Used In The Highline School District, Ralph Lewis Wood

All Master's Theses

It was the purpose of this study to (1) compare the learning of basic arithmetic skills of fifth grade children in the upper and lower 25 per cent intelligence groups using traditional arithmetic textbook materials with the learnings of comparable fifth graders using the School Mathematics Study Group methods and materials; and (2) compare the attitudes toward arithmetic of fifth graders using the traditional arithmetic textbook materials with those of fifth graders using the S.M.S.G. methods and materials. The upper and lower 25 per cent intelligence groups were established to help determine if either program would be more beneficial to …


A Study Of Biology Teaching In The State Of Washington – 1959 Versus 1965, Bert E. Thompson Aug 1965

A Study Of Biology Teaching In The State Of Washington – 1959 Versus 1965, Bert E. Thompson

All Master's Theses

It was the purpose of this study to (1) determine the scope and teaching methods used in biology courses in the State of Washington in 1965; (2) to determine the factors which influenced the scope and methods; (3) to compare the scope and methods with similar data collected in 1959; and (4) to determine if changes that occurred gave evidence of trends.


A Proposed Curricula Time Schedule Appliance To Eighth Grade Modern Mathematics, James Parker Eastham Jul 1965

A Proposed Curricula Time Schedule Appliance To Eighth Grade Modern Mathematics, James Parker Eastham

Graduate Student Research Papers

The purpose of this study was to examine several possible curricula time schedules in light of the objectives of eighth grade modern mathematics, and to develop a schedule best suited to meet these objectives. It was further postulated that a flexible schedule would: 1. allow time for completion of materials by students with average and above capabilities. 2. allow for student individual differences. 3. allow most effective use of staff.


Development Of A Tentative Science Program For Hebeler Elementary School, Paul Emil Drotz Jul 1965

Development Of A Tentative Science Program For Hebeler Elementary School, Paul Emil Drotz

All Master's Theses

The purpose of this study is to (1) develop a group of science topics and subtopics used and accepted for elementary science; and (2) list certain criteria concerning Hebeler Elementary School (H.E.S.) which can be used in determining appropriate content for the science program; and (3) select topics and subtopics for developing the H.E.S. science program using the listed criteria for selection.


An Investigation Of The Need To Correlate Academic Subject Areas With Industrial Arts, Ernest James Boedcher Jun 1965

An Investigation Of The Need To Correlate Academic Subject Areas With Industrial Arts, Ernest James Boedcher

Graduate Student Research Papers

This study was initiated as a result of a need that became apparent in two industrial arts seminars at Central Washington State College. Studies reveal that industrial arts teachers use principles, laws, and applications of mathematics and science daily, but these are seldom recognized and made meaningful to the students. As a result of this study industrial arts teachers may see a way to use this material to initiate similar situations in their teaching.
