A. W. Foshay has written a series of essays on what he calls the ‘curriculum matrix’. In them, he considers the interactions of unlikely elements such as aesthetics and history, and transcendence and mathematics. Thus far he has not explicitly attended to practice, one of the three dimensions of the model. Therefore, this article represents a first attempt at testing the model from the point of view of practice. In the process of exploring the practical element of cost, it becomes evident that the richness and depth of too easily disregarded terms, such as cost, must be reconsidered in order to enable sound curriculum decisions to be made in classrooms, school districts and national committees.
