Because of small class enrollment, limited class offerings, and differences in ability range, a programmed algebra course was introduced to eliminate some disadvantages of a small school mathematics program. Credit was given to students completing 36 of the 73 chapters in Science Research Associates (SRA) Modern Mathematics, Course I. Post-test scores indicated a gain ratio of .63 compared to pre-test scores. Criticism of the programmed course included the difficulty of chapter tests and the use of multiple choice questions. A statement of problems and objectives and a sample progress report to parents conclude the document. (JH)
