[quote=Anonymous]They don’t need MORE math to succeed- they need to go back to basics. Is it important students understand the concepts behind multiplication tables? Yes. You know what’s also important? Memorizing your times tables. You can’t teach long division if they don’t know their multiplication tables and that’s where they all start giving up. Rote memorization is still important. It should still be part of math instruction. More doesn’t always equal better. We just keep failing with all of these “new” ways to teach/ do math and obviously they aren’t working.[/quote]
