Hello,

Does anyone know where I might find "New Math" type materials that were used briefly back in the 60's (for Elementary age students)?

Not off-hand, although I could probably find some if you really need them; but I'm curious-why do you want these?
 
Maybe not exactly what you are looking for, but worth passing on, I think.

Thank you for the reply. I understand that the New Math included lots of Discrete Math. I'm looking for Discrete Math teaching materials for young children.
