Abstract

The problem

This study introduced a nine week course of consumer mathematics in a seventh grade mathematics class in a consolidated junior high school in central New Mexico. The three hypotheses tested were that students in a seventh grade class taught subject content from consumer mathematics: (1) would learn traditional skills and applications involving decimals, ratios and percent as well as or better than another seventh grade class taught from the assigned text book; (2) would learn applications of arithmetic skills to consumer-oriented problems as well as or better than students taught from an assigned textbook; (3) Would undergo a positive change in attitude toward mathematics, its learning and applications.
