  2. New Math - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Math

    Topics introduced in the New Math include set theory, modular arithmetic, algebraic inequalities, bases other than 10, matrices, symbolic logic, Boolean algebra, and abstract algebra. [2] All of the New Math projects emphasized some form of discovery learning. [3] Students worked in groups to invent theories about problems posed in the textbooks.

  3. Secondary School Mathematics Curriculum Improvement Study

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secondary_School...

    The new curriculum was inspired by the seminar reports from the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development in the early 1960s [4] and by the Cambridge Conference on School Mathematics (1963), which also inspired the Comprehensive School Mathematics Program. [3] [5] There were some interactions among these initiatives in the early ...

    The School Mathematics Study Group (SMSG) was an American academic think tank focused on the subject of reform in mathematics education.Directed by Edward G. Begle and financed by the National Science Foundation, the group was created in the wake of the Sputnik crisis in 1958 and tasked with creating and implementing mathematics curricula for primary and secondary education, [1] which it did ...

  6. Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer conjecture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Birch_and_Swinnerton-Dyer...

    In mathematics, the Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer conjecture (often called the Birch–Swinnerton-Dyer conjecture) describes the set of rational solutions to equations defining an elliptic curve. It is an open problem in the field of number theory and is widely recognized as one of the most challenging mathematical problems.

  7. Foundations of geometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foundations_of_geometry

    In the 1960s a new set of axioms for Euclidean geometry, suitable for American high school geometry courses, was introduced by the School Mathematics Study Group (SMSG), as a part of the New math curricula. This set of axioms follows the Birkhoff model of using the real numbers to gain quick entry into the geometric fundamentals.

  8. Reform mathematics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reform_mathematics

    Mathematics education reform built up momentum in the early 1980s, as educators reacted to the "new math" of the 1960s and 1970s. The work of Piaget and other developmental psychologists had shifted the focus of mathematics educators from mathematics content to how children best learn mathematics. [ 3 ]

  9. Teaching machine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teaching_machine

    B. F. Skinner was responsible for a different type of machine which used his ideas on how learning should be directed with positive reinforcement. [8] Skinner advocated the use of teaching machines for a broad range of students (e.g., preschool aged to adult) and instructional purposes (e.g., reading and music).
