Book Description

This present study is partly experimental, and partly philosophical. It is concerned solely with ninth grade pupils in mathematics. Their computational needs and their abilities in computation and arithmetic reasoning are determined by standardized tests; their ability to do abstract reasoning of the type found in not too difficult albegra and intuitive geometry, by experimental teaching and testing; their likes and dislikes, by consulting the pupils and their teachers. Finally, successful methods and procudres are deremined by by cosulting the cooperating teachers who worked with the author.
