Abstract
It is the purpose of this study to list the quantitative
concepts that occur in selected reading and content-subject
third-grade textbooks and to determine the frequency of
their occurrence.
There were several reasons for the selection of the above
topic: 1. the continuing trend in education toward closer
correlation (of. such terms as unit, fusion, integration,
etc.); 2. the increasing emphasis upon the importance of
meanings, understandings, and concepts (of. such phrases,
especially, as concept of number, concept of words, concept
of processes, concept of skills, etc.); and 3. the suggestions,
in articles (especially those 1n research periodicals) that
indicate the need for new research concerning quantitative
concepts and the teaching of such concepts.
