Abstract

The major emphasis of the “revolution in mathematics” at the secondary level has been on the improvement of courses in the college preparatory sequence. From the inception of the “revolution” until quite recently, little attention has been given to the ninth-grade general mathematics course. In the past few years there has been a substantial in crease in research and experimentation with ninth-grade general mathematics.
