Book Summary: The Traditional Course Of Study In High School Mathematics Needs To Be Completely Reconstructed. Five Years Of Intensive Investigation Have Established Striking Inadequacies In The First-year Course: Both What We Teach And How We Teach It. First: More Than Half Of The Conventional First-year Course Will Never Be Used By The Vast Majority Of Our Pupils. Second: The Claims Which We Make That We Are Training Pupils To Think Intelligently Will Be Difficult, If Not Impossible, To Substantiate. The Very Content And Organization Of The Course Tends To Inhibit This. Most Of It Provides Little Or No Opportunity For Training In Problem-solving. Our Courses Of Study Emphasize Habitformation And Rote Memory, And These Courses Are Almost Exactly Determined By The Textbook. Finally: Standardized Tests Given To More Than 100 High Schools Show Clearly That Neither In Securing Formal Skill Nor In Developing Powers Of Analytical Thinking Is Our Instruction Satisfactory. Striking Needs: (1) Courses Of Study Based On A Clear-cut Program ;(2) A Real Psychology Of How Children Learn Mathematics, Expressed Through New Types Of Wordy Textbooks And Manuals Of Method. Courses Must Be Constructed On Principles Of Social Worth And Thinking Outcomes That Have Been Definitely Established. Current Courses Have Not Been So Organized. The Slate Should Be Wiped Clean And A New Course Organized On A Clear-cut Program. No Material Should Be Included Which Cannot Be Defended Either On The Basis Of Social Worth, Or Upon The Probability Of Relatively Worth-while Thought Power. Furthermore, The Present Course, As It Came Down From Its Former Position In The Upper College Curriculum, Has Retained That Emphasis Upon Rigorous, Logical Organization And Upon Brief Alge The Evidence Which Was Collected Is Reported In Det|dl InS Cientific Method In The Reconstruction Of Ninth Grade Mathematics By H. O. R(Typographical Errors Above Are Due To OCR Software And Don't Occur In The Book.)
