@superteacherguy: Each way of working mathematically is important. We should be encouraging our children to see math as a set of tasks where we determine what needs to be done based on our current understanding. Multiplying should be thought of in many different ways so that we are not limiting students. #middleschoolmath #mathfluency #visualpatterns #teachersoftiktok #multiplication
the issue is not the new math, it's the teachers that are too rigid. if you can't accept multiple ways of solving the problem, you are the one hindering their future math.

but why are we doing so much more math to get the same answer

this is way way way overly complicated. the old math is straight forward and understandable. don't make math any more confusing than what it needs to be.

Awesome… but, there’s no old math vs new math. The system wants children to learn things that will come later in life, and they forget about age appropriate math.

highschool teacher here. if this works so well, how come so many of my high schoolers can't do basic math?

You’re mean to tell me that the kids are not learning the multiplication tables by memory anymore? I’m 29 by the way

that's cool but when you need to do math quickly drawing all that stuff out isn't helpful. both methods should be taught. one for understanding. one for efficiency.

New “Math” teaches kids how math works. Old mathers can be replaced by a calculator

This is why the rest of the world is a head in Mathematics they're still using the old way

if new math is so superior to old math why can't anyone count back change anymore?

I will not teach my child the new math version. the way she does it is perfectly fine.

nope, the kids cannot see this until they have a grasp on the old way to so it. too high of a cognitive load. so focusing on the new way leaves students confused and unable to do maths

Or you could do math the normal way in just as much time or less and less confusing

doing math once vs 3 times? multiply 2 times then do addition

This is how you mental maths. I was not taught this, but I arrived at it on my own. Much more intuitive.

A good teacher will ‘see’ the child doesn’t get it one way and will teach another.

I think my issue with the new methods is that they aren’t taught correctly so teachers, students and parents have no idea how it work. They just get more confused.
