Teaching Of Mathematics

Arithmetic has been until recently the only branch of Mathematics generally taught in the Primary School; and as this subject deals exclusively with numbers in their simplest and most practical form, it must, in the order of teaching, be the first introduced to the child. The premier place must also be awarded to it when considering the relative importance of the various branches composing the unity of Mathematics.

Teaching Of Mathematics

The Texas Section is to be commended for beginning a long-time study of improving the teaching of mathematics in Texas. The teachers of the secondary schools welcome the opportunity to work with the college group. The teachers of the elementary schools are just as interested. The problem of improving the teaching— and the studying—of all subjects is one which should challenge the interest of parents and of teachers from the nursery schools through the graduate schools.

Achievement In Mathematics

Today, most school districts are increasingly being held accountable for the quality of their programs. The Toronto Board of Education, which has 114 elementary schools with approximately 41,000 students and 39 secondary schools with approximately 30,000 students, is no exception. In May 1987, the board mandated the development of s tandards for students' achievement in mathematics and language at the end of grades 3, 6, 8, and 10. Until this time no systemwide testing or standards had existed. Guidelines had been established for evaluating students and reporting to parents, but schools and teachers were left to work out their own procedures.

Source Of Information

With this issue we are ready to bind together a nother volume of THE ARITHMATIC TEACHER Throughout the year this journal has brought its readers various points of view on curriculum, teacher education, and a pproaches to the teaching of mathematics. It ha been a reporter, reporting the results of research in elementary-school mathematics, noting the implication of these studies for making decisions about the future of mathematics in our elementary schools. It has been a teacher through its pages on which various topics in mathematics were presented. It has served as a source of information about new research, ongoing experimental program, tested ideas to be used in the classroom, and reviews and listing of new books and other teaching materials.
