It is becoming increasingly evident that sound knowledge of the mathematics usually taught in the elementary and secondary schools is an essential part of the equipment of large numbers of men and women who wish to take their proper places in our present day world. This is a fact which could have been established before the questions of Defense and War efforts arose. But the demand for men and women to do industrial work in connection with the war, and for properly prepared personnel by the armed Services, has served to call the importance of mathematics strikingly to our attention.

Teaching Of Mathematics

The Texas Section is to be commended for beginning a long-time study of improving the teaching of mathematics in Texas. The teachers of the secondary schools welcome the opportunity to work with the college group. The teachers of the elementary schools are just as interested. The problem of improving the teaching— and the studying—of all subjects is one which should challenge the interest of parents and of teachers from the nursery schools through the graduate schools.

Solid Geometry

The UICSM Mathematics Project has long been concerned with the mathematics curriculum in today's secondary schools. Two areas of curriculum work were joined in producing the programmed solid geometry text under discussion. The content was developed from an Appendix of High School Mathematics, Unit 9 (UICSM, 1962) and an earlier UICSM unit on topics from solid geometry. The instructional procedure reflected findings of the UICSM Programmed Instruction Project (Brown, 1962 and 1964).

New Curriculum

For all students to succeed in learning more mathematics, content and instruction must change. Access to all will be open when teachers are prepared to assist all students with learning rich, contextual mathematics in a standards-based classroom. In Minneapolis-Saint Paul, Minnesota, Project Open Access, funded primarily by the National Science Foundation (NSF), attempts to meet the needs of teachers who are ready for professional development that will support them in reaching this goal. The intent of the project is to increase the readiness of large numbers of teachers to implement one of the new curriculum projects for middle or high school mathematics that have been funded by the NSF.
