Annual – 1964 – Curriculum Revision Issue

1964 Annual: Curriculum Revision Issue

Publication of the Mathematics Council of The Alberta Teachers’ Association

EDITORIAL

This Annual was envisioned by the executive of the MCATA at its October meeting. At that time it was considered that a more extensive publication than the Newsletter – to be published at the conclusion of the year – would be especially useful to those members desirous of becoming familiar with local thought in mathematics education particularly as it applies to curriculum revision. Bearing this in mind, your editor has put together accounts of these developments along with articles based on the new authorizations in junior high school which become effective in September 1965. The STA series, which enjoys popularity with our members, has considerable analysis given to it by our writers. To these articles have been added some pertinent research accounts contributed by the leaders in mathematics education in Alberta. We rely on these people for our enlightenment.

The executive has given me a free hand and if readers do not find the contents in line with the aims of the publication then the editor must shoulder the blame. I hope I have chosen those things most useful at this time.
