Math Wars:
The Top Viral Video On This Topic
--And It Ain't a Pretty Picture For "New Math" aka Everyday or Terc Math--
With national standards in Math being introduced this week, I thought it might make sense to show one of the top videos (it's not new-new, but message works) in the Math war saga since the teachers AND knowing which Math program/approach to teach with is more important than the standards themselves.
We thought we would start with this video to get the conversation going . . . what has been your experience with the different Math programs, as a teacher, parent or student? What have you heard?
Since we received more questions about teacher and trainer Kathleen Jalapour's post on The Daily Riff the other day, we would highly recommend to check it out if you missed it and want to learn more about Singapore Math. She makes understanding the concepts very easy to us regular folk. Click here to link :"Singapore Math: How I Learned To Love The Numbers".
