Thoughts on Math Instruction...

Check out this interesting article in The New York Times:

"The Problem with Math Problems: We're Solving Them Wrong"

I think this is my favourite part:
"If we teach kids math without understanding, we build on a house of cards.”
"That house of cards will be fragile, and liable to collapse, when students move from elementary mathematics to complex problem-solving."
