The study aimed to identify the relationship between the methods of parental treatment as understood by the children and the academic achievement in the middle school students in Jazan region in Saudi Arabia. The study sample consisted of 40 students in the second grade at Haroun Al - The results of the study showed a statistically significant relationship at the level of (0.01α =) between the methods of treatment of the father (punitive method - withdrawal of love - guidance and guidance). ) And academic achievement The results showed that there was a statistically significant relationship at the level of (0.01α =) between the methods of treatment of the mother (punitive method - withdrawal of love - guidance and guidance) and the educational achievement of children, and the results of the study showed no significant differences at the level Significance (0.05α =) between parental treatment methods (punitive method - withdrawal of love - guidance and guidance) in total between parents.

NO PART OF THE K–12 MATHEMATICS curriculum is more fluid and controversial than introductory algebra. Content and assessment issues lie at the core of this debate: What algebra skills and understandings are important? What kind of evidence suggests that students possess these skills? Neither question can be answered in simple terms; in fact, no single “right” answer may exist for either one.

Explorations of concepts of chance should be a part of the middle school curriculum, as indicated in the mathematics curriculum frameworks developed by several states (Florida 1996; South Carolina 1993; New Jersey 1996). The challenge for teachers is to find contexts that interest middle school students and motivate them to explore these ideas.

During the past twenty years, documents have recommended that the mathematics curriculum include measurement for all grades, K–12 (NCTM 1980, 1989). Indeed, students interact daily with measurement in their physical environment, for example, by finding the distance from home to school, their height and weight, and wall space for posters. Adolescents bring to the classroom varied conceptions of measurement, which may be in the form of basic applications or general formulas. All too often, a fundamental understanding of these ideas is sacrificed while students learn general formulas. This situation is particularly true for attributes of perimeter and area. To what extent do middle school students possess a conceptual understanding of these measurement concepts?

This study investigated the effect of learning Logo on middle-school students' understanding of specific mathematical concepts and on their level of cognitive development. Students in the Logo Group ( n = 91) learned Logo for one hour a week for sixteen weeks as part of their regular mathematics curriculum. The Control Group ( n = 90) did not participate in the Logo program but received the full allotted time for their regular mathematics curriculum. No significant differences were found between the two groups in their understanding of mathematics concepts or in their growth in cognitive development. However, among the students in the Logo Group, those who learned the most Logo gained significantly more than those who learned a minimal amount of Logo both in their understanding of the mathematics concepts and in their level of cognitive development. When the High Logo group was compared to the Control Group, and also to a matched subset of the Control Group, there were large differences in favor of the High Logo group, but the results were not significant. The findings of this study suggest that cognitive development, achievement in mathematics, and achievement in Logo programming all share a common factor and that students who do well in one area are also likely to do well in the other two areas.
