  • Math certainly is incomprehensible to many students, but from where I sit, poor teaching is often the reason. Math education is failing many of our students.
  • I have the utmost respect for people with math degrees who choose to teach in spite of the poor pay and discipline problems, but few people make that choice.
  • What if medical schools know that calculus is not needed in a doctor’s day-to-day practice, but that the skills she learns when taking it, including perseverance in the face of a difficult subject, make her better at understanding and responding to the flood of information she encounters in her work?

  • but because their mathematics degrees indicate experience and acuity at problem solving.
  • like it or not, algebra is one of the first places students start to learn these problem solving skills.
  • Those who have a grasp of mathematics will have many career paths open to them that will be closed to those who have avoided it.
  • Math education needs to improve, but if illiteracy were on the rise, I don’t think we’d be talking about eliminating reading from the curriculum.

    Intriguing response to an article questioning the purpose of current mathematics curriculum  in k-12 education. The author points out the problem solving and perseverance skills and more gained from mathematics.

  • In contrast to the most common math programs in the United States, Singapore math devotes more time to fewer topics, to ensure that children master the material through detailed instruction, questions, problem solving, and visual and hands-on aids like blocks, cards and bar charts.

      I like this idea and can see many teachers identifying the importance of students fully understanding topics in order to move on. However, without fully adopting this math program, it seems school curriculum is often so structured on an upbeat pace that would make this style of learning difficult to commit to in the secondary levels..?

      Link to website that contains mostly resources for purchase to guide you through SingaporeMath style as school/parent.
  • But school officials caution that Singapore math is not easy or cheap to successfully adopt.

      see link above. You would think it was a website to help you understand the approach better but appears to be mostly a location for resource sales.

      seems that teachers are able to benefit from it and gain a stronger understanding of topics along with the students
  • Ideally, they do not move on until they have thoroughly learned a topic.

      ideal pace for a "perfect world" to ensure strong understanding of topics by students before moving on
