[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The Eureka way is dumb imo. My dad who taught college math for over 40 years (still teaching!) asked why are they teaching simple arithmetic this way? [/quote] People who teach college math are the LAST people to consult about teaching math to elementary-school students imo.[/quote]Or, the FIRST because they see all the pitfalls that lead to math deficiency down the line![/quote] College math professors might be able to say [i]that[/i] people are having problems with college math, but they will not be able to explain why, because they don't understand how to teach math effectively to general people, and especially not elementary-school math. Anecdotally, some of the math professors I had in college were worse at teaching math than my high school math teacher who was primarily the girls' softball coach.[/quote]
