The Teaching of Algebra in the Advanced Forms of Schools
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 03 November 2016
Extract
In 1934, the Board of Education asked the Mathematical Association to submit its views on the mathematical aspects of the organisation and interrelation of schools. In its report, the sub-committee appointed for this purpose, of which I was a member, made it clear that at present the mathematics up to School Certificate standard in schools of secondary education was inadequate in its scope and its direction for all but those pupils who will continue to read mathematics in a university course. If we remember that probably only some 10% of the population of our public and secondary schools passes on to any form of university career, and if we agree with the opinion of the sub-committee, we have before us a problem vast in its importance and extent and one which should be tackled without delay
