- Synopsis: At the age of eleven, children change from primary to secondary school; a change which normally means a complete change in teaching methods. 'Into Secondary School' questions the need for this change in the teaching of mathematics. It illustrates how the 'discovery' principle widely used in primary school can be successfully continued for at least the first two years of secondary work. The film shows how two schools have successfully tackled these problems and examines the effects on both teachers and pupils.
