During the past thirty-five years, educators have placed increasing emphasis on mathematical understandings. The findings of psychological and educational research have supported this emphasis, and as a result most elementary school mathematics programs now include at least selected properties of number systems.

Future Work

Administrators want the best educational program for their schools, and they want parents to support that program. Parents want the very best for their children in everything, including mathematics education. They remember arithmetic as the mainstay of elementary school mathematics and want their children to acquire the computational skills that they see as necessary for everyday life and future work.

Teaching Learning

During the past few years, an increasing amount of emphasis has been given to research. The need for direction in the teaching-learning process in all areas of the curriculum has been intensified, and the development of curriculum reform movements such as that of “modem mathematics” has accentuated that need. Research should be a source of knowledge about curriculum content and methods and a foundation for decisions about curriculum innovations.

During the past few years the spotlights of attention on mathematics programs have increased in number and intensity and have broadened in focus. The glare of the limelights now covers the elementary school as well as the secondary school. It will continue to do so with increasing brightness for some time to come.

Lyrics from the ever-so-popular 1980 song by Kool and the Gang seem to be a fitting way to kick off the twenty-fifth year of Teaching Children Mathematics (TCM). This milestone volume year will be one of joyous celebration as we commemorate the journal's numerous contributions to elementary school mathematics education during the past quarter of a century.

Current Psychological

A study of textbooks written about the teaching of elementary school mathematics during the past hundred years is an enlightening process—and an enjoyable one! Some of the statements made by these educators indicate a degree of romanticism, others stress then-current psychological beliefs, while still others are universal generalizations. Perhaps teachers will find the following samples provocative.

Modern Mathematics

During the past decade, major changes have occurred in mathematics in the elementary school, both in content and approach. Indeed, “modern mathematics” has become a household term epitomizing the radical changes in today's curriculum which separate the younger generation from their parents. Parents complain they can no longer understand, much less help their children with mathematics. Innovations in experimental programs, technical advancements, and new insights into human learning promise even greater changes in the future.

For the past fourteen years the Arithmetic Teacher has published an annual listing of research on elementary school mathematics, grades K-8.1 This year that listing will be published instead in the November issue of the Journal for Research in Mathematics Education (JRME). In addition to research reports on elementary school mathematics, it will include reports of secondary school research.

The past decade has been a time of unprecedented change in elementary school mathematics. During this period the thinking of teachers, mathematics educators, and mathematicians was tapped to develop new mathematics programs for the elementary school. This is still in process and hopefully will continue. The major thrust of this movement has been to improve the content of school mathematics and to teach more mathematics in better ways to more children. Now there is a need to give increased attention to obtaining research evidence concerning the overall improvement of mathematics instruction.
