A Study of Mathematical Abilities

The American Mathematical Monthly, 1962
Recent efforts to improve the mathematics curriculum in our schools have led to a flood of new texts and new programs and have, of course, raised the question of how good these are. Opinions are plentiful and strongly held, but little factunJ evidence is at hand.

Ability stereotyping in mathematics

Educational Studies in Mathematics, 1987
Ability is a concept central to the current practice of mathematics teaching. However, the widespread view of mathematics learning as an ordered progression through a hierarchy of knowledge and skill, mediated by the stable cognitive capability of the individual pupil, can be sustained only as a gross global model, and is of limited value in describing

Mathematical Ability and Masculinity

The Arithmetic Teacher, 1960
The idea that men are Better than women at mathematics has been widespread. Many writers on education have taken it for granted; a few have tried to prove it. Unfortunately, the general acceptance of this assumption distorts the test results; achievement rather than innate ability is measured.

Generalization Abilities in Mathematics

The Journal of Educational Research, 1946
Building concepts, developing meanings, establishing principles, dis cerning relationships, and formulating and understanding generalizations are interrelated aims in the teaching of elementary mathematics. The form ulation and the understanding of generalizations, sufficiently adequate for intelligent use, may well be considered as culminations of the
