Abstract
Selection of students for ninth-grade algebra or general mathematics courses is common. The problem presented generally is who shall be advised to take algebra and who shall not. This study was conducted in a typical, large, middle-class, suburban community where, near the end of eighth grade, the guidance department recommends that about half the students take algebra and the other half take general mathematics during ninth grade. How do the guidance people arrive at their decision? Might they be better off using a different method than they are now using?
