Brock’s Math Department will be entirely converted to a modem curriculum by 1965. Cuisenaire rods are used with younger children as a concrete example to explain abstract principles in mathematics. Introduced to the 1st grade this year, they will be used through die 3rd grade next year. Besides the SMSG in the 4th through 12th grades. Advanced Placement Calculus taught by Mr. Yonker is being planned to replace the present half year of Calculus. There are plans to have a course in “Computer Arithmetic” within two years.
