Abstract

New mathematics has been part of the elementary

school curriculum long enough to be seriously evaluated by

educators. The problem investigated was as follows: has

the new mathematics improve children's mathematical attitudes

and achievement?

The purpose of the study was to investigate whether

sixth graders who have attended school throughout the modern

mathematics era have achievement levels and attitudes that

are different from sixth graders who attended school when

the more traditional programs were offered.
