advanced-procrastination:ruinedchildhood:Incredibles 2 (2018)They’re right, math is math. Nobody changed it bc it can’t be changed. It’s simply been reorganized in a manner that focuses on understanding and internalizing concepts rather than rote memorization and regurgitation for the sake of a test.When people complain about teachers “wanting it done a different way when this way is easiest”, that’s because they learned to do it and get it done with, but don’t actually understand what it is that they’re doing. We want students to do it a certain — and sometimes more roundabout — way in order to foster an actual understanding of what they are doing. Once they can demonstrate that they’ve internalized the concept and not just the execution, we don’t give a shit how they do it.This is the difference between somebody that can do 27+48 in their head, and somebody who needs a calculator. And that’s just the bare basics. -- source link
