[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]I'm a PP in IT, and I totally agree with the bolded. I see this a lot in the many developers I work with. And this is because the old way of teaching math in a lot of the Asian countries were just rote, memorize the formula and plug in the numbers. But even they have started to change how they teach math. They now include more critical thinking in their math curriculum as well. [/quote] Critical thinking has ALWAYS been a part of the American system, just like the other poster explained in that post the PP quoted. Math instruction was not so broken that you had to revert to dumbing it down and putting all abilities into one homogeneous class. [/quote] Which of the Common Core standards involve "dumbing down"? Can you provide some examples, please? Also, within-class differentiation vs. tracking is a separate issue, which has been controversial for decades.[/quote]
