[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Anyone who seriously think this type of verbal exercise is going to improve the PISA score is delusional. I really think part of the reason is that most the top math score countries use math specialist from the very beginning. Whereas in the US, most of the elementary school teachers are deeply uncomfortable with math themselves. [/quote] This is very true. From China here, we have math teachers to teach only math starting grade 1. The math teachers of the same grade form a team and grade homework and exams together. They also discuss issues and possible solutions together so that every teacher will learn from each other to profound their math understanding. There is always at least one senior teacher in the team to guide the young ones gain confidence in teaching math. I don't know how the teachers deepen their knowledge here, I guess through the professional training? but that's only a few weeks a year. [/quote]
