Description: Shows children's reactions to the new methods of mathematics teaching used in Nuffield mathematic teaching in England. Discusses problems in determining the children's progress in developing mathematical concepts, points out that the traditional attainment test is unsuitable for use with the new teaching methods and suggests that individual record books or diaries, noting significant advances or difficulties, are the best way of assessing each child's progress.
