Abstract

Two of the major functions which the teacher of mathematics is expected to perform are (i) to lead the pupil to the realization of the objectives of mathematics and (2) to make contributions to the objectives of general education. In the attainment of the objectives of general education, the entire system of school organization constantly changes, in attempts to meet the ever-varying needs of everyday life, and mathematics, being part of that organization cannot, therefore, remain static. Each new generation is expected to reexamine the offerings of the mathematical curriculum and to adapt the subject to the changes that are taking place in the social and economic life of the people. When materials become obsolete, they must be discarded, and socially useful subject matter must take their place.
