About this episode
Have you heard this from parents (or even your friends), "Why are they teaching this 'new math'?" To be honest, it's frustrating because it feels like a loose- loose situation. Like, what can I say that will convince you that it's not actually "new math". In this episode we will go into why people say this and a few ideas for how to respond
In this episode we'll chat about:
- What is new math?
- Why is this even a thing people think and say?
- How you can respond when someone asks you why you're teaching new math
