Before I present the major features of a new curriculum for high school mathematics, I should like to state what I understand to be the principles of the reform movement generally known as modern mathematics. My purpose in reviewing these principles is to make more apparent the differences between these curricula and what I shall propose. Though the many modern mathematics curricula differ slightly from one another, I believe it is fair to treat them collectively insofar as the underlying principles are concerned.

The question “What to do about geometry?” has for decades beset the planners of both high school and college mathematics curricula. Until the nature of the first course in high school geometry is settled, the high school mathematics curriculum cannot stabilize. If the high school geometry question could be answered, this would help the colleges to reset geometry in their curricula.

In examining the organized efforts to bring the junior high school mathematics curriculum into focus with its proper functions, two movements become apparent: the administrative reorganization which created the junior high school, and the attempts to redirect the objectives of junior high mathematics.
