Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Junior High School Mathematics, Vol. 1
During the transition period of the Junior High School the pupil should be led to rationalize and to generalize. He should now be asked to discover and observe for himself the interrelationships found in his school activities and in the life about him. His mathematics from this point on should train him to study every question that arises from its quantitative side. He should be led to solve the various interrelated problems involving quantity as he sees them around him. Thrift and economy and social relationships are especially stressed in the problems and under suitable topics. Such a treatment lends itself to a continuous and progressive appeal to the child to know and to get the qualities that make for good citizenship. Therefore the au thor treats mathematics throughout as an instrument for use, and to that end problems and projects to which each mathematical principle is applied have been graded to con form to the successive stages of development of the child mind and of child activity.
