Elements of Geometry: Containing the First Six Books of Euclid, with a Supplement on the Quadrature of the Circle, and the Geometry of Solids: To Which Are Added, Elements of Plane and Spherical Trigonometry. Dean&apos;s Stereotype Edition
Author: Playfair, John
Date: 1840-00-00
Type: Historical Materials
Subjects: Geometry,Textbooks,Mathematics,Professional Personnel

This textbook is designed to be used in a geometry course incorporating the writings of Euclid. The object of this edition now offered to the public, is not so much to give the writings of Euclid the form which they originally had, as that which may at present render them most useful. The author believes that the use of algebraic signs and symbolical writing, in translating from an original where no symbols are used, cannot be regarded as an unwarrantable liberty: for, if by that means the translation is not made into English, it is made into that universal language so much sought after in all the sciences, but destined, it would seem, to be enjoyed only by the mathematical. For a fuller detail concerning these changes, refer to the Notes, in which several of the more difficult, or more interesting subjects of Elementary Geometry are treated at considerable length.

Elements of Surveying: Including a Description of the Instruments and the Necessary Tables
Author: Davies, Charles
Date: 1835-00-00
Type: Historical Materials
Subjects: Maps,Navigation,Measurement,Geography,Cartography,Topography,Textbooks

This textbook is a course in elementary surveying. It has been the intention of the author to begin with the very elements of the subject, and to combine those elements in the simplest manner, so as to render the higher branches of plane-surveying comparatively easy. All the instruments needed for plotting have been carefully described; and the uses of those required for the measurement of angles are fully explained. The conventional signs adopted by the Topographical Bureau, and which are now used by the United States Engineers in all their charts and maps, are provided. Should these signs be generally adopted in the country, it would give entire uniformity to all maps and delineations of ground, and would establish a kind of language by which all the peculiarities of soil and surface could be accurately represented. An account is also given of the manner of surveying the public lands; and although the method is simple, it has, nevertheless, been productive of great results, by defining, with mathematical precision, the boundaries of lands in the new States, and thus settling their titles on an indisputable basis.

Felter&apos;s First Lessons in Numbers; An Illustrated Table Book, Designed for Elementary Instruction. Natural Series
Author: Felter, S. A.
Date: 1868-00-00
Type: Historical Materials
Subjects: Textbooks,Arithmetic,Elementary School Students,Teaching Methods,Mathematics Instruction,Oral Language,Written Language,Mastery Learning

This textbook is an illustrated table book rather than an elementary arithmetic book. Its object is to suggest things for pupils to do. While it is impossible in a work so small to do more than give suggestions, the teacher will find little difficulty in supplying the deficiency by the use of the blackboard. Although there is nothing in the book which the children ought to be required to commit to memory as a set task, yet each step should be thoroughly mastered by means of oral and written exercises before proceeding to the next.
First Lessons in American History. Revised Edition
Author: Evans, Lawton B.
Date: 1931-00-00
Type: Historical Materials
Subjects: Teaching Methods,United States History,History Instruction,Textbooks

This textbook is an American history reader aimed to meet the demand for a simple history of America, suitable for children of ten to twelve years of age, many of whom study no other text on the subject. In order to present a book of the most value the narrative treats of men whose influence has been controlling in the destiny of the nation but does not make of their lives a series of hero stories. The facts of their lives and incidents of their careers are presented in sufficient fullness to reveal their personal traits and aid a pupil to understand their contributions to the current of events. The facts that are presented in the text are those which appear most important for a child to know. Review questions are included at the end of every chapter.

Lessons in Science
Author: Barber, Frederic Delos
Date: 1925-00-00
Type: Historical Materials
Subjects: Textbooks,Science Instruction,Teaching Methods,Elementary School Students,Scientific Concepts,Course Descriptions

This textbook is a version of &quot;First Course in General Science&quot; simplified for younger pupils. There are fewer quantitative conceptions, many mathematical problems have been eliminated, and, where it has been possible without sacrificing clearness, much detail has been omitted. It discusses, in terms that the youthful mind can understand, phenomena of science constantly met in the home, the school, and the community. Each topic is pursued far enough to avoid superficiality and to give continuity to the course. The course is progressive; the earlier chapters are relatively easy; as the ability of the pupil grows, the course becomes correspondingly difficult. Numerous cross references are given to stimulate frequent reviews. Topics not essentially important in the environment of any class, or in the environment of the community, may easily be omitted without seriously breaking the continuity of the course.
A History of the United States
Author: Doub, William C.
Date: 1906-00-00
Type: Historical Materials
Subjects: Textbooks,United States History,Teaching Methods,United States Government (Course),Federal Legislation,History Instruction

This method presented in this textbook will tend to give the pupil some conception of the real nature of United States government. The student will not look upon civil government as an indistinct and lifeless structure, because the student is being led to see the true relation which exists between history and civics. The student is led to see that government is the enactment of the experience of society into law, and that history is the record of that experience. The student will see that all the more important parts of governmental machinery, such as the division of government into the three departments and the division of the legislative department into two houses, are merely the crystallization of ideas which society has gradually developed. The treatment in this volume makes government so completely an integral part of the history of the nation that the pupil will readily see and understand this vital relationship. This will give the student a much better and more valuable knowledge of government and of the relation to the same than the student would receive from a separate study of this subject.

First Lessons in Arithmetic: On the Inductive Plan, Including Oral and Written Exercises. Inductive Series
Author: Milne, William J.
Date: 1878-00-00
Type: Historical Materials
Subjects: Arithmetic,Textbooks,Mathematics Education,Elementary School Mathematics,Educational History,Mathematics Instruction,Computation,Mathematics Skills,Addition,Multiplication,Division

This textbook is designed to teach the principles of Arithmetical Science as far as they are involved in the elementary processes, and to secure a reasonable degree of accuracy and rapidity in expressing numbers and computing results. This work presents at first the idea of numbers connected with visual representations of objects; afterward, when the pupils become familiar with the objects, concrete examples are given without illustration, and these are immediately followed by exercises upon abstract numbers, so that the pupil may become familiar with the various combinations that may be formed. The first lessons are devoted to instruction in counting, reading, and writing numbers up to twenty. Immediately following these, are lessons upon Addition, in which abundant practice is given in combining numbers. The fundamental processes of Subtraction, Multiplication and Division, are treated upon a plan similar to that exemplified in Addition, including besides, numerous examples combining two or more of the previous processes. The lessons on Fractions are so simple and yet so thorough, that the pupil is enabled to read, write, add, subtract, multiply, and divide fractions when the processes are not very complex. The work on Written Arithmetic, which follows, is believed to be simple, thorough, and practical; and the brief and practical treatment of the various classes of denominate numbers in common use, makes the work quite comprehensive within its scope.
Teacher and Students&apos; Mathematics Anxiety and Achievement in a Low-Income National Context
Author: Richland, Lindsey Engle
Date: 2020-10-00
Type: Journal Articles
Subjects: Foreign Countries,Teacher Attitudes,Student Attitudes,Mathematics Anxiety,Mathematics Achievement,Low Achievement,Predictor Variables,Mathematics Instruction,Instructional Improvement

Negative relationships between mathematics anxiety and achievement appear in many countries globally (Lee, 2009; OECD, 2013), suggesting that mathematics anxiety could be an underconsidered factor in regions with persistently low mathematics achievement. We draw on a national sample of students and their teachers in Belize to examine relations between mathematics anxiety and achievement. The data replicated the negative relationships between students' math anxiety and achievement observed in many higher achieving, higher resourced regions, and importantly also revealed that teachers' mathematics anxiety predicted their students' mathematics attitudes and sometimes achievement. The effects were small overall so the robustness of this relationship is not clear, but they provide novel data toward building a comprehensive theory of mathematics anxiety's relationship to achievement across cultural, gender and age contexts, and offer insight into how addressing mathematics anxiety might improve mathematics teaching and achievement in low resourced countries.

Emotional Complexity under High Stress: Do Protective Associations for Risk Behaviors Persist Even during a Pandemic?

Risk behaviors like substance use and binge eating are often used to cope with negative emotions. Engagement in these behaviors has been exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. Past research suggests that complex emotion conceptualizations captured as emotion differentiation (ability to discriminate between emotional states) and polarity (ability to integrate positive and negative features of emotional experience) may be protective. We examined associations of mean affect intensity, emotion differentiation, and emotion polarity with frequency of daily substance use and binge eating across 10 days in a demographically diverse sample of U.S. adults (N = 353) recruited between March 24 and April 9, 2020, when stay-at-home orders were initiated. Owing to the nested data structure and excessive zero values, analyses were conducted using multilevel zero-inflated negative binomial regression. Consistent with past research, negative affect was positively associated with frequency of substance use and binge eating. Importantly, results indicated that negative emotion differentiation was protective, predicting greater likelihood of not using substances and binge eating at all across the sampling period. These effects remained even after controlling for mean affect intensity, emotion polarity, and positive emotion differentiation. Neither positive emotion differentiation nor emotion polarity were significantly associated with either behavior. Our results suggest that greater complexity in conceptualization of negative emotions facilitates some protection against risk behaviors such as substance use and binge eating, even during periods of high environmental stress. These findings have important implications for optimizing interventions to reduce engagement in risk behaviors.
