Welcome to Plurk!

interesting article! welcome to plurk.

I would tend to think the traditional method of teaching math would best suit those headed to college and taking the assessment.

welcome to plurk.

For no other reason than the fact that most colleges are offering the sit and get method.

I find the article interesting. We need to look at what it means to prepare for college and a standardized test.

If the goal is a deep understanding of mathematics then the IMP approach is very applicable, it encourages student discourse

bentleyr: I couldn't agree more. That program teaches them through meaningful experiences.

But it is different, and parents don't like different. They way they learned was good enough then it is good enough now, or so they think.

as well as exposure to multiple methods of solving problems. If the goal is to prepare for a procedural understanding then other programs

may be better suited

Why can they no offer both and allow the students and parents the choice?

life would be easier if the world my son is going to compete in was the same as the one I grew up in.

I do understand some people subscribe to the "good enough for now" way of thinking

jaimeh H the two ways of teaching are so opposite it is almost impractical to offer both because it contradicts the "math mission"

I can understand that also.

Glad your plerking
