Many movements in education are claiming the attention of teachers of mathematics. Some teachers and administrators would make all high school mathematics elective, some are teaching some form of general mathematics, some are emphasizing standardized tests, some have instituted supervised study or instruction by homogeneous groups, and others are working on the content of courses in mathematics for both the junior and the senior high schools. These different movements all indicate an earnest desire on the part of their exponents to help in the solution of educational problems, and every progressive teacher is vitaily interested in the results, either from the standpoint of a participator or an observer.

High schools are requiring students to complete more years of mathematics in order to graduate (Reys et al. 2007). This requirement raises several questions for schools, teachers, students, and parents. In particular, what mathematics should students study, and how should that mathematics be organized? High school mathematics programs today use two different mathematics course sequences. One sequence focuses each course on a specific subject (algebra, geometry, algebra, or precalculus), while the other integrates mathematical strands throughout each course. Choosing between subject-based and integrated course sequences stimulates discussions about-and often controversy over—which organizational choice is best and for whom.

Curriculum Trends

The problem of selecting and organizing instructional materials for high school pupils is as old as the high schools. When these schools came into existence the courses in algebra and geometry then offered in the colleges were moved downward into the lower schools. Unfortunately these subjects had been organized by college instructors for college students and were in no sense planned to meet the needs and abilities of high school pupils. It was to be expected, therefore, that they would need to undergo considerable reconstruction. To the solution of this problem the mathematics teachers of the nineteenth century have devoted a great deal of time and effort.

On The Road

Can a college stimulate interest in mathematics in the high schools of its area? Can it, encourage more effective teaching at the high school level? Can it create rapport between the high school mathematics teachers and the college mathematics staff? We at Missouri Southern College believe the answer is YES ! We feel the MSC Math League has started us well on the road to achievement of these goals.

Block scheduling is not a new phenomenon. It has been widely used in British Columbia, Ontario, and Alberta since the 1970s. In the United States, block schedules have become increasingly popular throughout the 1990s, and currently they are spreading to high schools in many regions.

For the past four years we have given, at the University of Alberta, a course entitled "The Nature of Mathematics". This course is open to first and second year students in arts and science and in education, and is designed primarily for those who will be taking only a single course in mathematics at the university. The only prerequisite for the course is high school mathematics and the course is not prerequisite for any other course.

Ability Groups

In presenting the changes in subject matter and method needed to fit different ability groups in high school mathematics, I am compelled to limit my discussion to the work of the first two years as carried on in the majority of schools: namely, freshman algebra and plane geometry. My experience with ability groups limits me to this field and since a large number of high schools make two years of mathematics required for graduation, it is the field where different ability groups are most needed and the field in which I feel you would be most interested.

Prospective Teachers and their advisers are often searching for information regarding the extent to which a specific subject is taught in high schools, the degree to which it is combined with other subjects, and what those other subjects are. It was the purpose or this study to bring together such reported findings relative to the teaching of mathematics.

Multiplication Facts

During the past few years, I have enjoyed reading THE ARITHMETIC TEACHER and THE MATHEMATICS TEACHER very much. Since I am a junior high school mathematics teacher, there are articles in both magazines that are useful and interesting to me. One such article, which dealt with addition and multiplication facts, was “Yahoo—a Game for Fun and Skill” in the April 1967 issue of THE ARITHMETIC TEACHER.1
