Students are arranged in classes according to their ability. Their ability is determined by the tests given upon entrance to P.C.l-l.S. In 1954 Pekin High joined a project for the purpose of improv- ing school mathematics. This is called the UICSM project. We are just one of many schools partici- pating in this program. The teachers are receiving special instruction, and they are collecting manuscripts and co- ordinating reports from partici- pating teachers. A proposal was accepted to make a series of films to be used in preparing teachers for the beginning course in the UICSM program. These films will be used at the conference this summer. The development of new text materials is a phase of this new math project. Pictured at left are the partic- ipating teachers in this new pro- gram.
