| Abstract: | One of the problems of the young teacher in the primary school is to find the middle-of-the-road course between what mathematics his pupils need to know and that mathematics which is prescribed in the syllabus for the examination. In an ideal setting there should be no conflict really and this is chiefly for two reasons: (a) the primary school teacher should teach mainly mathematical concepts and later someone else will teach the necessary arithmetic rules and techniques; (b) a satisfactory treatment of primary mathematics is achieved if the teacher has clearly in his mind the correct balance and treatment of the separate topics to which the prescribed syllabus is an approximation. |
