We have had a committee of the Association of Teachers of Mathematics in New England appointed to deal with the criticisms brought against the teaching of mathematics in secondary schools. This attack has been vigorous, and in many cases thoughtful.

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.”

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.

The purpose of this study was to determine 1) the condition of the existing SMP potential in achieving the National Education Standards (SNP), 2) analyze the gap / gap between the real conditions Potential SMP with National Education Standards, 3) formulate an implementation strategy of the National Education Standards to Potential Junior High School. The unit of analysis in this study is 6 Potential Secondary Schools in the city of Bandung, which are in cluster 1 (1 Junior High School), cluster 2 (2 Junior High School) and cluster 3 (3 Junior High Schools). The results showed the level of the gap between the real conditions Potential Secondary Schools in Bandung with National Education Standards are as follows: standard financing is the largest gap compared with other standard is 59.2%. The next largest gap in a sequence is the standard of infrastructure (46.1%), the standard process (39.6%), the standard assessment (29.7%), teachers and education personnel standards (25%), the standard management (23.3 %), content standards (23.2%), and the smallest value of the average gap is competency standards (11%).
