The following report gives a brief summary of the receipts and expenditures of the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics for the 1963–64 fiscal year, which ended May 31, 1964. Actual receipts were approximately $22,000 more than the expected receipts, while the expenditures were approximately $29,000 less than was budgeted. The excess of expenses over revenues, almost $118,000, was spent primarily for special projects, such as the public relations film, Mathematics for Tomorrow; the experimental materials that have been written for the non-college-bound student, Experiences in Mathematical Discovery; the films for teachers of arithmetic; and the writing of the eight booklets, Topics in Mathematics for Elementary School Teachers. $147,600 was budgeted for the special projects.

At the recent meeting of the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics held in New York City,* one elementary school panel dealt with the problem of providing better instruction in mathematics to gifted students. Thus far, most attempts to meet the needs of gifted students have depended upon horizontal enrichment. A difficulty has been that most elementary teachers lack sufficient knowledge of mathematics to make enrichment programs successful. The mathematics preparation of elementary school teachers must be improved.

Apresenta resultados de uma pesquisa que investigou as representações de “aluno da escola pública” construídas por professores da rede pública de ensino fundamental do Rio de Janeiro. Utilizando a abordagem estrutural de Abric, concluiu-se que o núcleo da representação é constituído pelos elementos pobre e aprende a “se virar” sozinho. Cotejando-se estes resultados com os obtidos nas etapas anteriores da pesquisa, observa-se que, para os professores, o aluno tem que aprender a “se virar” sozinho porque é pobre e a pobreza implicaria desagregação familiar e luta pela sobrevivência, impedindo os pais de oferecerem aos filhos a atenção de que necessitam. Dadas todas estas características, esse aluno representaria um desafio para os professores, desafio este que eles se sentem impotentes para enfrentar. Palavras-chave: representações sociais; aluno da escola pública; família e escola; fracasso escolar. Abstract The article presents a research that investigated the representations of the “public school student” constructed by public elementary school teachers of Rio de Janeiro. Using the structural approach proposed by Abric, one concluded that the nucleus of the representation is constituted by the elements poor and learns to make it on his own. Comparing these results with those obtained in the previous steps of the research, it can be observed that, to the teachers, the student has to learn to make it on his own because he is poor and poverty would imply family desegregation and struggle for survival, preventing the parents from providing their children with the attention they need. Given all those characteristics, this student would represent a challenge to the teachers, but this is a challenge they feel they are impotent to cope with. Keywords: social representations; public school student; family and school; school failure.

The Arithmetic Teacher is a quarterly journal published by The National Council of Teachers of Mathematics, a professional organization devoted to the improvement of the teaching of mathematics at all levels of instruction. This new publication should make professional reading on the teaching of arithmetic more accessible to elementary school teachers and as a result, the thinking of leaders in this field should be more readily reflected in school practice. Devoted to the improvement of the teaching of mathematics in the kindergarten and the grades of the elementary school, THE ARITHMETIC TEACHER will bring to teachers direct help on how to improve the teaching of arithmetic and knowledge and understanding of the application of new ideas to classroom work from day to day.

Much of this responsibility rests with the higher institutions. In Portland, Oregon, however, the public school authorities have initiated a courageous undertaking which is already paying dividends. Mr. Ebey, Assistant Superintendent, and Mrs. Brunskill, Personnel Coordinator, report on background planning, procedures, and progress to date.
