The problem was one well-known to upper elementary and junior high school teachers—a student who has been instructed for several years in the rote application of an algorithm, who is generally not successful with it, but whose mental set prevents him from accepting a different approach. Laurie and Patty were perfect examples.

Development of computational skills with fractions has long been a part of the upper elementary and junior high school mathematics program. Current movements toward metrication have led some individuals to suggest that decimals will receive more attention in the mathematics curriculum with a corresponding de-emphasis on fractions. The suggestion may find an increased number of supporters, as recurring evidence indicates that pupil performance with fractions is discouragingly low. An alternative point of view is that although metrication may somewhat alter work with fractions, their importance within the structure of mathematics and to applications justifies their continued emphasis in the curriculum.

The most significant technological achievement presently affecting the quality of life in our society is the computer. Despite its rapid invasion into the marketplace, the computer is often personified with adjectives such as controlling, impersonal, and intimidating. Yet we cannot deny that the computer is imbedded in every aspect of our society. Technological advancements are developing at such a pace that it is difficult to keep abreast of the field. The personal computer now offers the promise of being available to all United States citizens within the next three to five years (Braun 1977, p. 3).

Since its official beginning on 1 September 1971, the Study of Mathematically Precocious Youth (SMPY) at Johns Hopkins University has received considerable attention as a model for the education of extremely talented young mathematics students, usually of junior high school age. Articles and books have been written about the project as it evolved and as it was replicated elsewhere in the United States. So it was appropriate that in November 1980 a symposium at Johns Hopkins was devoted to discovering what had been learned during the first decade of the SMPY. Academic Precocity, Volume 10 in the Hyman Blumberg Symposium series, reports the findings and conclusions of that symposium.
