A History of Mathematics Education during the Twentieth Century describes the history of mathematics education in the United States with conceptual themes concerning philosophy, mathematics content, teacher education, pedagogy, and assessment. Each decade of the twentieth century is analyzed using historical documents, within the context of the aforementioned themes, to create a concise history of mathematical reform as it relates to history within the United States. Finally, conclusions are drawn as to which reform movements are similar and different throughout the century-depicting which aspects of reform can be seen again. Mathematics education tends to swing on a pendulum from "traditional education" including teacher-directed instruction with an emphasis on computation skills to "reform education," including student-directed instruction with an emphasis on problem solving. All decades are analyzed to see where they were on the pendulum and what aspects may have contributed to the current reform movements led by the Standards movement.

A History of the 'New Mathematics' Movement and its Relationship with Current Mathematical Reform provides a history of the 'new mathematics' movement of the 1950s, 1960s, and early 1970s in the United States and relates it to current mathematics curricular reform. The history of the 'new math' education movement is explained in terms of the general curriculum in schools, the mathematics curriculum, the teaching standards, and the pedagogical techniques used. A complete analysis of the history of the 'new math' movement was accomplished by separately investigating major and minor 'new math' projects. In conjunction, the aftermath of the 'new math' movement is explained providing suggestions as to why this movement is often seen as having failed. A short history of reform from the 1970s to the present is provided. Finally, the book compares the 'new mathematics' movement with the current mathematics reform movement led by the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics.

Want true love? It's simple: you just need to get in the game Charli is a love-jinxed twenty-one-year-old desperate for romance. Her prayers appear to be answered when Cupid shoots her with a love arrow on Valentine's Day. However, instead of landing the man of her dreams, Charli lands in the middle of the Valentine's Game where she must contend for true love, participating in love games like Blind Luck, Four Play, and Five Hundred Kisses. With the help of Cupid's guiding angels, Charli has a good chance of winning if she can figure out which of the handsome young men is her one and only and if she doesn't get distracted by a gorgeous male angel seven hundred years her senior. For reasons only the supreme love angel understands, Cupid has added surprises to this year's game. Charli must not only unravel the mysteries of her own heart but must also uncover secrets hidden by the other competitors while finding love for two hearts left behind. Luckily, Charli is up for the challenge. Soon, Cupid's idyllic resort is turned upside down while Charli adds her own twists to his contests. It will take laughter, tears, and plenty of heart, but Charli won't quit until she finds love for everyone around her or goes home broken and alone. The only question that remains is, does Charli have what it takes to claim the ultimate prize in the Valentine's Game?
