In the October 1943 issue of The Mathematics Teacher a committee1 of the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics, working with the cooperation of the Civilian Pre-Induction Training Branch of the Army Service Forces and the U. S. Office of Education made a report on Essential Mathematics for Minimum Army Needs.2 The purposes of the report were to emphasize the needs of the inductee for certain minimum essentials in mathematics, to present a list of the essentials needed, to recommend placement in the high school curriculum of those essentials not already there, and to give some guidance for teaching them. Incidentally the report pointed out the value in civilian life of these same essentials.

In a recent “Sound Off” in Mathematics Teacher, Robert Reys and Rustin Reys (2009) contrasted two curricular approaches, what they called “subjectbased” and “integrated.” They came down heavily in favor of the latter, arguing that many of the difficulties that students have with high school mathematics are consequences of the subject–based organization.

This article reports the partial findings of a statewide survey of high school special education programs for students with mild disabilities. The focus of this article is on the curriculum. Three sources of information were tapped for this study: (a) special education administrators, (b) high school special education teachers, and (c) parents of high school students with mild disabilities. The return rates were very high: 91%, 89%, and 45% of the three groups, respectively. Four basic topics concerning the curriculum were investigated: (a) its focus and content, (b) discrepancies between availability and utilization, (c) barriers to mainstreaming, and (d) conditions required for improvement. Both data and recommendations with respect to these topics are presented.
