Could you pass a high school math test from 1968? In this video, we tackle a classic high school algebra problem straight out of a 1968 textbook: Which of the following sets describe a function, and which describe only a relation? Set A: {(1, 2), (2, 3), (3, 4)} Set B: {(1, 2), (1, 3), (2, 4)} We'll also look into why questions like this became central to American classrooms during the late 1960s. Following the 1957 Sputnik launch, the Space Race sparked the "New Math" movement—introducing set theory, relations, and abstract structures to high schoolers across the country. Try solving it yourself before watching the explanation, and share in the comments: do you remember the "New Math" era?
