You mention that new math is hard to conceptualize and learn when the goal is to teach (which makes total sense). My wife is a teacher, so I've seen the day to day demands placed on them, and truthfully I don't see a ton of time available for them to learn. How does something like that get rectified? Is it just a matter of needing them to teach it year after year until they find better ways?
How long has new math been in calgary schools?
