- W3119103624 abstract "It is at the same time a source of weakness and a source of strength for mathematics as a high school subject that its content is farther removed than most other subjects from the every day experiences of the pupils who are being initiated into its mysteries. The danger arising from this isolation is that the significance, meaning and value of the subject are likely to be seriously underestimated both by the students and by the general public, on whose support the continuance of the subject in the school curriculum ultimately depends. Mathematics is “hard” for some students, largely because it deals with unfamiliar material and because it raises questions, which seem both strange and unimportant to the mind of the boy or girl who has to think of earning a livelihood as well as of passing the course. Why he should learn to solve a quadratic equation or to sum a geometrical progression may seem as puzzling to him as it seems silly to worry about proving that all right angles are equal. Parents are likely to wonder how their children's skill in solving problems about clocks and water tanks will strengthen their character, or how the ability to learn by heart proofs of geometric theorems will stimulate their imagination. That the high school student has not established a connection between mathematics and the rest of his experiences may be natural and no cause for wonder. That the parents, who have “gone through” the schools and possibly a college, have not done so constitutes a serious criticism of our work; it is an indication of the fact that the problem we are here discussing has not found a solution adequate for the needs of the past generation." @default.
