When a child has difficulty in “catching on” to the arithmetic process which is being presented, the teacher is obviously faced with a challenging problem, namely, what to do to reach this child. Some schools provide special activity courses for the child who seems retarded in arithmetic. The Grosse Pointe junior high schools provide such a course, which is designated as General Mathematics and offered to seventh- or eighth-grade pupils who test below the average in ability to do arithmetic.
