X N Norwalk, Connecticut, a film-making team from the National Educational Television and Radio Center of Ann Arbor, Michigan, recently shot dozens of scenes of classroom lessons, staff discussions, demonstrations and other activities in several Norwalk public schools. These depict Norwalk's mathematics programs and efforts to improve education in this subject.
The film is being produced under a grant from the United States Office of Education for release over national commercial and educational television channels. Over 100 prints will be made and circulated throughout the United States and its possessions.
