firm foundation Consumer Math offered the actual methods used in business and a review of arithmetic. This course was correlated with other areas such as bookkeeping, office practice, business law, and home economics. Specific business situa- tions gave a refreshing presenta- tion of old material. An informal introduction to geometry, trigonometry, and alge- bra was taught in General Mathe- matics. Confidence, understanding, and application of techniques were gained in this course. It was a modern study of established funda- mental ideas.

Goal is to establish Trigonometry and Calculus were designed for those students who can develop mathematically sound ideas. It greatly extended the de- velopment of previously learned concepts. -College Algebra helped to bridge the gap between Algebra II and Calculus. Relationships of algebra, trigonometry, and analytic geom- etry were emphasized. Algebra II developed under- standing and produced familiarity with terminology, notation, and symbolism. Throughout, students discovery and proof of mathe- matical truths were stressed. The language of algebra and the principle tools and concepts were introduced in Algebra I. Much attention was given to the why and how of mathematical processes. A basic purpose of Geometry was to teach the student to read and write mathematics equally well. It was an integrated course of plane geometry and solid geometry. Mr. Mulkey takes a break from students to eat lunch. 22 Math
