A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

The following computer-generated description may contain errors and does not represent the quality of the book.

It has been urged that the investigation and progress that have characterized other branches of the school curriculum have been lacking in so far as mathematics is concerned, especially in the case of mathematics as applied to secondary schools. This is doubtless due largely to the fact that mathematics, as a pure science, is not so susceptible to theory as is a subject whose limitations are not so closely drawn, and whose subject matter is more open to speculation. In spite of this fact, however, educators have dreamed of a more ideal course in mathematics; a course which would give better and larger returns for the time spent in study, and a course which would remove from mathematics the stigma which it so often bears, of being the bite noir of the average high school student. #The teacher of secondary mathematics has his choice between what might be called the natural and the artificial incentives. Under the natural incentives fall the following: a the uses of mathematics in the activities of life; bthe charm of achievement which comes with the solving of problems; cthe gain of mental power, of the ability to reason clearly to a definite conclusion. Among the artificial incentives, the following are the most usual and most powerful: a graduation from the high school; bpreparation for college; cthe winning of some special prize or honor; dthe avoiding of suspicion of mental weakness.
