[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am wondering what "old-fashioned algebra" is.[/quote] I'm not exactly sure, but I think it means they didn't rely on subpar teachers who were recruited by their friends at the main office to draft a new curriculum that utilizes made up words and employs 29 steps instead of the most direct route to solving the problem. In short: [b]it means the way all of us learned math prior to 2.0[/b]. [/quote] No, that can't be what it means, because "the way all of us learned math prior to 2.0" only worked for a small percentage of us. http://www.nytimes.com/2014/07/27/magazine/why-do-americans-stink-at-math.html?_r=0 Any other ideas?[/quote]
