Abstract
The General Mathematics Project is a research project being conducted by the Institute for Research on Teaching (1RT), with funds from National Science Foundation. National Institute of Education. and Michigan State University’s College of Education, to find out what makes ninth-grade general mathematics so unpleasant and unrewarding for students and teachers. The project’s first task was to find out how students and teachers feel about general mathematics. One student tearfully told IRT researchers that she would never take another mathematics class because she haled mathematics so much and did not see why everyone thought it was so important to being successful. A teacher told researchers. “These are really nice kids: it’s just too bad I have to teach them math.” These were characteristic responses.
