I love this, because everyone is mad that we suck at math in this country, but any minor changes to the way we teach math brings out this IT IS SOOO DIFFERENT bullshit. Look, we are changing it because our kids are coming out stupid. Thanks to computers, we don't need to teach boring stupid algorithms that are quick but you don't understand. Now we can teach slow algorithms that actually help kids estimate and understand numbers. The quick method they will use is called your loving calculator.

Its basically that Simpsons episode where they put Bart in the remedial class and he was like "so you're going to make me catch up to the other kids by learning slower than them?" that's America

The White Dragon posted:Calculate the circumference of Goatman's rear end in a top hat in pixels assuming a 1440x900 image resolution. Use this to subtract 4 from 7. It prepares those kids for the logic jumps in later disciplines that they are absolutely not prepared for right now. The amount of kids having to take remedial maths courses in college is silly and trying to teach at a college level in any higher course that makes use of advanced mathematics is excruciating when they are being taught to the lower standards we used to have.

Also, explain why it works, don't just cite your bullshit algorithm. Kids actually explaining why poo poo works! Holy crap, they might even be able to understand Calculus when they take it!

The specific images you've been posting weren't from that. Try harder. It's okay though, if you want to keep your kids learning the old way. We need ditch diggers too.

Gulzin posted:So explain to me how to multiply 53 by 34. Also, explain why it works, don't just cite your bullshit algorithm. There isn't any reason why it works. It just does. Tell yourself that multiplication is just repeated addition, then use a calculator and move on. There's no reason why 3 and 2 make 5. We just assigned those symbols to three different concepts that happen to all work out in reality when you're counting 3 apples and 2 apples.

Describing things with varied words (and techniques) is meant to prevent the ossification of thinking, so that the kids hopefully remain in contact with the concepts rather than just viewing everything as a rigid and disconnected system of algorithms and jargon.

It's become nothing more than a money grab by private industry. My college even has Pearson and Houghton Mufflin produced classes that we're required to take in order to get a BA in Elementary Education.

Feminition posted:microbio/biotech undergrad, work in a computational lab The software you use in biotech work uses extremely complex equations to model the various compounds used, for example. This stuff works pretty well and kids actually eat it up when taught well; the people having problems with it are the parents. Would you rather teach kids or supervise lab personnel who understand broad logic concepts that can be cross applied (which is what this does) or who have been taught to a specific test and nothing more (the old way)?
