Age Of Entry

Concern over poor standards in mathematics among English school leavers has led to a number of government initiatives in recent years. Without a secure foundation of mathematical understanding and competence during the primary school years, later learning in mathematics is problematic. This paper examines recent major initiatives at the primary stage of schooling and their effect on raising standards, including the National Numeracy Strategy and the Improving Primary Mathematics (IPM) project. The latter project, influenced by successful Continental approaches to teaching mathematics, aimed both to raise average standards of attainment and to reduce the large variation in attainment that has, in the past, characterised the performance of English pupils.Although the new teaching approaches, and the innovatively detailed teaching materials, developed by the IPM project have enabled significant improvements to be effected, concern remains over the low attainment in England of an unduly large proportion of pupils (as compared with Continental schools). It is suggested that serious consideration needs to be given to adopting arrangements that are the norm in several other countries — namely, to introduce some flexibility in age of entry to schooling (at present in England this is governed strictly by date of birth). Such a change would, it is suggested, significantly reduce the number of low attainers and range of attainment within a class, and make a teacher's task of successful interactive whole-class teaching more manageable.

The Many

This issue introduces a new department to the Mathematics Teacher, “Connecting Research to Teaching.” Articles will focus on mathematical and pedagogical ideas related to the NCTM's Curriculum and Evaluation Standards (1989) and the Professional Standards for Teaching Mathematics (1991). Authors will strive to present information to help teachers (1) understand students' conceptions or misconceptions of important ideas, (2) consider various approaches to teaching, and (3) offer activities that probe students' understanding. Although research offers no one correct answer to the many perplexing problems surrounding teaching and learning mathematics, the suggestions and perspectives may help teachers pursue their work with new insights. It is hoped that the department will also stimulate researchers to reflect on connecting research to the classroom. Communication and collaboration between teachers and researchers will benefit both groups and help each grow in appreciation of the other's tasks.

School Concept

Interdisciplinary approaches to teaching all subjects are central to the middle school concept. Such approaches can be especially useful for teaching mathematics, a subject that has traditionally been the bane of many students' existence. The NCTM recognizes the importance of interdisciplinary instruction in its Curriculum and Evaluation Standards for School Mathematics (1989, 84).

Deductive Proof

One of the most widely accepted objectives of the current approaches to teaching mathematics is to provide a meaningful blend of intuitive understanding and deductive verification. Mr. Kaner's article provides a novel situation in which both aspects are present.
