[quote=Anonymous] [quote]I wish there wasn't such an emphasis on memorizing math facts. I understand it is important to know them but when I was in advanced studies as a kid they focused much more on the how and why than memorizing facts. There wasn't the constant pressure to know one concrete answer, instead we had to explain why answers made sense and apply them to everyday experiences. They also incorporated a lot of art and science into math. I developed a love and understanding of mathematical concepts that carried over into adulthood. [/quote] At my daughter's AAP school they use "Everyday Math". Everyday Math is about as non-route learning as you can get so it should be along the lines of what you want. Personally, I wished that they spent more time doing it the old fashioned way. After you learn the 3rd or 4th way to do something it starts to get confusing. Do a few Google searches and you will find that many parrents really hate the everyday math program. [/quote]
