Mathematical interest and
knowledge for public school
students has been declining
during the last fifteen years,
ctnu jacK ivi. utt, a USC math
professor, says students' lack
of self-discipline and the
math's difficulty are the
causes.
Most high, intermediate and
grammar school students are
not motivated to learn more
than simple math, he said.

are not as high as they should
be. Low standards in the home
may also be attributed to this.
"The math that is taught in
schools has not been improved.
It's more like college math
with too much symbolism. The
concepts in math have been
abbreviated, and this only
makes it more difficult Math
needs to be intuitive, to have an
association of ideas."
According to a recent
education report, a national
survey of math teachers
showed that 79 per cent of them

aker says
believe student achievement
has declined. In
national average seore on the
math portion of the Scholastic
Aptitude Test was 502. In 197475,
the average score was 473.
In a recent Gallup Poll of the
general public's attitude, four
major reasons for students'
lack of interest were: less
parental attention, lack of
student motivation, too much
television viewing and a
permissive society.
THE NATIONAL
Assessment of Educational
Progress study, which is done
every seven years, tests the
ability of students and adults in
math. In the 1972-73 academic
year, 90,000 persons were
tested.
Approximately one adult in
10 cannot perform simple

and division problems, according
to the study. The
scores were worse on fractional
computations.
"There is a move to improve
the curriculum in schools. . .
some teachers believe that the
curriculum has been improved,
but I believe that it
hasn't been improved," Ott
said.
