Throughout the teaching of mathematics there is a tendency to overestimate the degree of transfer of learning. In our student days we have all had our frustrating moments with the likes of “… the remainder of the proof is obvious and will be left as an exercise for the student.”

Teaching Of Mathematics

The phase of the J. H. S. movement which is of vital and immediate interest to us is the teaching of mathematics in this school unit. However, the problems that require consideration in connection with this branch of the curriculum are necessarily related to the problems of the whole movement and must be solved with due regard for that relation. Among the problems to which I refer are those of aim, subject-matter, method, sequence of subjects and the time element.

Having felt for some years the increasing lack of co-ordination among the departmentalized units of the junior high school, the writer unexpectedly received an impetus toward active work on this problem as related to mathematics, during the progress of a graduate course in the “Teaching of Mathematics,” taken at the University of Southern California under Dr. Myrtie Collier. Through her encouragement and under her helpful supervision, some experimental investigations were started which it is hoped may have their small share in turning professional thought toward correlation of subjects in a definite and constructive manner.

Teaching Of Mathematics

Miss Annie John Williams, a high school teacher at Julian S. Carr Junior High School, Durham, North Carolina, has been an active member of the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics for twelve years. She reports that she finds the articles in The Mathematics Teacher very helpful to her in teaching students in the junior high school. Her interest in the improvement of the teaching of mathematics is indicated by her attendance for six years at the Mathematics Institute at Duke University. The sole purpose of this Institute is to provide a mathematics laboratory that will contribute to the improvement of mathematics education. Her special interest in the improvement of the teaching of mathematics is in harmony with her work as National Council Representative. Each year she writes several hundred letters to teachers of mathematics asking them to join the Council— the only national organization devoted solely to their cause. Miss Williams will welcome the assistance of the mathematics teachers in North Carolina in helping her with the National Council work.

Teaching Of Mathematics

This year, 1946, besides our celebrating 25 years of the work of the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics, we are celebrating the 200th anniversary of the birth of a great educator, the Swiss, Pestalozzi. And since he taught us much that applies to the teaching of mathematics today, I want to begin by reviewing briefly our debt to this man who might well he called the father of modern education.
