plays a greater role.
Students are dealing with
problems their elders weren't
exposed to. Eighth graders will
learn how to determine, the
areas of rectangles, prisms,
cubes and other objects, and
then get into scientific nota-

They may even get into

certain events occurring at the

Do you know the difference
between q number and q num-
eral?
Probably not, If you were
graduated from high school
more than a few years age.
A number, I learned in the
eighth grade. recently is a con-
cept concerning the size of a
group of objects, while a num-
eral Ii q written representation
of the number.
There may be many numer-
ais for the same number. Ten
can be written as 10, x or 20
over 2.
This distinction is on e of
many elements that have been
added to the mathematics cur
riculum, making it incompre-
hensible to parents who start
to help their children with
homework and wind up learn
ing it themselves.
This, the so-called new
math, Is taught not only at
jefferson Junior High but at
all junior and senior high
schools in the District. The
only significant difference in
the course at Jefferson is that
students there also read about
the lives and works of the
greatest mathematicians.
The new math actually is
not a new way of solving prob
lens. Rather, it is a different
way Of presenting math, SO
that students can see why they
do certain things which pre-
viously were done merely be-
cause a teacher said so.
I'VE now stress reasons and
theory, where the old math
stresses the practical" one

The strategy session broke
up on a note Of cordial Coop
Grafton. Gen. Duke said he was
confident the differences over
the site could be worked out,
and Mr.. Richards said he was
quite heartened by the spirit
of cooperation and the desire
on the part of the District to
undertake a Joint study"
The site downstream from
Key Bridge was one of three
sites considered by the policy
advisory committee appointed
by President Kennedy.
However. the committee did
not rule out an upstream site,
as long as it was not at the
Three Sisters Island site.

bases. The solution to the prob
lem I had solved, 81, was the
numeral in base 10 for the cor
responding numeral, 1913, in
base four.
The problems Mrs. Moran
had put on the board were ex-
erciSes in changing numbers
from one base to another. In
regrouping from bases one
through nine to base 10, the
first number on the right is
multiplied by one, the second
number is multiplied by the
base, and the third number is
multiplied by the square of the
base.
But it's not only the adj
vanced material like this that
puzzles parents; it's also the
new language children learn,
like number sentences, associa-
tive property and the distinc-
ton between number and num-
eral.
The associative property for
addition refers to a principle
which was always understood,
but never named to school chill
dren. It means that the way
numbers are grouped for addi-
ton does not affect the sum:
q plus 81 plus 4 is the same as
2 plus g plus A..
We knew that all along; we
just didn't know what to call
it.
Another way teachers give
children a clearer understand
ing of mathematics is by pre-
senting what might be called a
background briefing.
One Of the first things
taught to seventh graders is
how the Egyptians and Babylo-
mans counted. This leads to
the conclusion that our system
lis superior because it has
j place value; that is, a nu-

blackboard. One of the numer-
ais in each group was spelled
out.
Mrs. Iris Moran went
through a few manipulations
with one of the numbers, 234
five, and came up with an an
swer of SO. After watching her
steps, I was able to follow the
same procedure with the next
one, 1913 four:
l times 4 times 4, plus 2
times 4, plus 8.
The answer, 81, was correct,
but what relationship did II
have to 1913 four?
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1963-12-05

Mrs. Moran explained that I
had regrouped numerals from
one base to another.
The base is the number
which is used for the funda-
mental unit of grouping in a
Enumeration system. The system
we use is called the decimal
system because the unit of
grouping is 10.
For any base, the highest
digit used Is one less than the
base. The base four system, for
example uses only 0, /. 2 and 8.
Thus a number will be ex-
pressed differently in different

Plan toWden
NE. Street
Is Tabled

City planners today baked
at a proposal to widen a seven
block section Of a Northeast
street that has been the scene
of five traffic deaths In the
last two years.
The National Capital Plan
ming Commission voted to table
a motion to approve the $685.
900 widening of South Dakota
avenue between Rhode Island
avenue and Bladensburg road
NE.
The Planning Commission
has an advisory role with the
Federal Bureau of the Budget,
which this month is to give fl
ntl White House clearance to
the next District budget.
Two Projects Approved
The planners approved two
other highway projects. These
were a $7.3 million Ninth street
eXpreSsway between Constitu-
ton avenue and the Southwest
freeway and a 100000 widen
ing of New York avenue be-
tween First street and Bla-
densburg road NE.
In the debate on the South
Dakota avenue project, Mrs.
James H. Rowe. jr.. chairman
of the commission, said the
talk about traffic deaths Ger
tainly put the commission on
the spot"
Mrs. Rowe said the planning
staff might be able to work out
a better alternative to the
street widening in its work now
under way for the comprehen-
Sive plan for 1885 for the Dis
trict. A ng-planned improve
ment for Eastern avenue NE.
to build Fort Drive parkway
might serve as an alternate
route, Mrs. Rowe said.
178 Accidents
Statistics gathered by the
District Highway Department
show there have been 40 acct
dents in which people were in
jured and 1873 accidents in
which no one was hurt.
District Engineer Commits
sioner Charles M. Duke said

sible projects we have"

writes, lis that no Capitol in
the world has done more to
safeguard free democratic de-
bate but above all it is a
Mighty Engine, tended and
kept throbbing by the indefati-
gable efforts of a select assem-
blage which represents far
more of our national strengths
than our weaknesses"
The text Of the book was
written by Lonnelle Altman, a
member of the Biographies
senior editorial staff. Jules B.
Billiard and Robert L. Breeder,
also Of the Geographic staff,
served as editorial director and
design production director, res
pectively.
George F. Mobley, Geogra-
phic photographer, made some
1000 photographs, rode a So
foot hydraulic lift, climbed spe-
cial scaffolds and l00-foot ex-
tension ladders, and circled the
Dome in a helicopter. The Sen
ate broke a long tradition to
permit Geographic photogra-
pliers to make pictures of it in
session.
Mrs. Altman tells, within the
framework of the Nations his
tory, the story of the Capitol's
evolutimn, richly evoking the
personalities and events that
have made the building a ma
tional temple.

Not everyone was pleased in

mined by its relationship to
other numerals. The numeral 2
means different things when

when written before a CID.

are either true or false) and

seemingly embodies the spirit
of America in stone.
Abraham Lincoln was inau-
gurated on a bleak, wind-raked
day in 1861 amid rumors of a
plot to blow up his platform.
Riflemen watched from Capitol
windows, and below him SOL
diers fixed bayonets. Work on
the Capitol continued in war;
time-Lincoln was quoted as
saying, IF people see the Capt.
toll going on, it is a sign we in
tend the Union shall go on"
Growing needs for space and
increasing activities of Con-
gress over the years have ex-
banded the Capitol itself and
generated huge office buildings
nearby.
But will the Capitol ever be
finished?" Mrs. Altman asks
noting plans under considera-
ton for a four-level, 2,000-car
garage under the Capitol Plaza,
and proposals for an extension
of the West Front and substi-
tuition of marble for the deter
iorated sandstone.
"One lighthearted suggestion
even calls for an outdoor res
taurant as a pleasant way to
use the stone terrace facing
the Mall, the Washington
Monument, and the White
House." she adds.
Within the Capitol and its
office buildings hum legislative
tasks that have become so
complex that it takes more
than $500 men and women to
help the 535 members of Con-
gress keep up with their jobs.
And to the Capitol's working
