[quote=Anonymous]Speaking from a perspective of college  instructor who sees kids that don't know the beginning about math I am hoping that rather than rushing through math concepts there is more time devoted to really learning and understanding what is behind the math. Math is more than just formulas and equations. Math, science and art are very much intertwined. Having children see and realize this is so much more importanted that getting a basic overview. Kids that can see beyond the structure of math - see how it is in all around us will be better at science and math in the long run. Just the other day my school ages kids were excited to note that me making them Halloween costumes required math. Imagine that - art requires math. So while the new curriculum is too fresh to know how it will work out over time, I do think this approach is better than the last. Perhaps you are only seeing what they are learning now and boredom but if they can get a bigger picture aspect to math it will be an advantage later on.[/quote]
