Teaching junior high school mathematics

This book is addressed to teacher and school officials, and considers recent proposals for improvement in the content and teaching of arithmetic, algebra, and geometry. It discusses the question whether it is possible to vie the children of these grades a broad and interesting view of the field of elementary mathematics, without sacrificing sound scholarship. Nearly all of the material presented here has been used repeatedly and effectively, not only in defining the new mathematics in the minds of educators, but also in giving them practical assistance in putting it into successful operation. It may be of interest to all educators who deal with the problems of the mathematics from grade six through the high school, and the pages on approximate computation may be of interest also to teachers of science.--Preface
