G. PROJECT OBJECTIVES: 1.
Overall project purpose: To bring together classroom teachers and research
mathematicians in a joint effort to improve the pre‑college mathematics curriculum. 2. Specific
objectives: The primary purpose of the SMSG was to foster research and
development in the teaching of school mathematics. The work of SMSG consisted
primarily in the development of courses, teaching materials and teaching
methods. It was a part of SMSG's task, in cooperation with other mathematical organizations, to encourage exploration of the
hypotheses underlying mathematics education.
