Integrating The Wasl Into The High School Algebra Curriculum, Kent Stafford Pearsons
Integrating The Wasl Into The High School Algebra Curriculum, Kent Stafford Pearsons
All Graduate Projects
Most Algebra courses in Washington are supplemented with Washington Assessment of Student Learning (WASL) material. However, in the last two years, little more than half of Washington sophomores passed the math portion of the WASL; for about half of tenth graders the extra worksheets did little to no good. Students need relevant WASL material that correlates with the current math they are studying. In this manner, even though questions may be phrased differently, the material is familiar and so answering questions are more possible. Also, since new worksheets have multiple choice, teachers can discuss how most wisely to answer this …

An Educational Mathematics Game Called Allequator, Raymond Robert Beeson
All Graduate Projects
This paper contains a brief description of the procedures involved in making the game Allequator, an educational tool capable of reinforcing basic algebra concepts for students 7th through 12th grades. With the help of the Richland Public School District #400, Allequator has been published and is now available to teachers within the district.
A Comparative Investigation Of The Effects Of Frequent Testing Upon Achievement In Secondary Advanced Algebra, John Thomas Fullerton
A Comparative Investigation Of The Effects Of Frequent Testing Upon Achievement In Secondary Advanced Algebra, John Thomas Fullerton
All Master's Theses
Relatively speaking, few studies have concerned themselves with the problem of frequent testing, and as Keys pointed out, empirical evidence, uncomplicated by differences in the amount of testing material employed, on the effects of frequent testing is, at best, scarce (14:427). Also many studies used tests and test results for direct instruction, thus introducing additional variables. Furthermore, the choice of subjects and disciplines has been limited, the better part being taken from college psychology and sociology classes or high school science classes. This investigation was not an attempt to modify previous experiments, nor was it an attempt to identify which …
An Investigation Of The Group And Some Simple Algebraic Systems, Helen Kelly Schaal
An Investigation Of The Group And Some Simple Algebraic Systems, Helen Kelly Schaal
All Master's Theses
Most algebraic systems commonly studied have two operations; namely, addition and multiplication. The purpose of this thesis was to study an important class of systems in which there is only one operation.
