A 20 page paper discussing the relationship
between reforms in math education in the 1960s and 1970s and conditions in the space
program. The Soviet Union launched Sputnik in 1957, and then was the first to put a man in
space in 1961. Alan Shepard became the first American in space only three weeks later, but he
did not orbit the Earth as the Russian astronaut did. Technological innovation and national
embarrassment gave impetus to the change in math education in the early 1960s and the shift
to New Math, but we allowed the pendulum to swing too far in the US. Further technological
innovation and the reality of poor performance on an international level now is giving impetus
to additional change, one approaching more of a middle ground. The paper also discusses the
international interest in math education reform beginning in 1958. Bibliography lists 17
sources; includes an outline of the paper.
