Abstract
This study investigated the influence of grade 8 rotary mathematics on grade 9 achievement in mathematics. The study focussed on two main styles of mathematics instruction used in Ontario. One was the home room instruction of students, the other is rotary instruction. A newly developed questionnaire was completed by grade 8 mathematics teachers. Important information such as type of instruction, qualifications, and interest was measured. Final marks in mathematics of students who had grade 8 teachers participating in the study were recorded. These same students, along with others, completed a mathematics entrance test for grade 9 students during the third or fourth week of the second semester of the 1998/1999 school year. No statistically significant differences were found in the achievement levels between the two groups.
