ERIC Digests

These Digests are published by the clearinghouses of the Educational Resource Information Center (ERIC), and they are in the public domain. They may be freely reproduced so long as the publisher is properly credited. ERIC clearinghouses were eliminated at the end of 2003, as has been the Eisenhower Mathematics and Science Clearinghouse at the end of 2004.

The Digests have been selected to help inform rural education researchers about mathematics education and to inform mathematics education researchers about rural education. For additional Digests in the ERIC collection, consult the new ERIC search page.
