description During the past decade a number of words have been used to describe mathematics in the elementary and secondary schools. Some of these words are “new,” “modern,” “structure,” “logical,” “generalization,” “discovery.” It may appear to a reader that these words must have new meanings and that they must be particularly descriptive of phases of mathematics.
