Abstract
Modern mathematics, ushered into the mathematics curriculum in the latter part of the 1950s and persisting through the decade of the 60s, received much publicity and was vigorously taught, or at least attempted, across the entire country-from the largest city system to the smallest village school. Unfamiliar subjects and symbols were introduced, and expressions and terms were used that were heretofore foreign to the elementary school. Expressions such as commutative, associative, distributive. teaching for understanding. and mod were but a few of the new expressions heard in elementary education circles. Bases other than ten, modulo arithmetic, and set language represent some of the new subjects that made up “modern elementary mathematics.”
