Dr. Paul Nolting's Academic Success Press Blog: A Publication Dedicated to Math Success |
Hello readers! We are hard at work transcribing and editing a number of exciting interviews for the upcoming weeks (including a few with future AMATYC speakers)!
In the meantime, we thought we'd link to a NY Times article from 2014, which describes in detail America's history with math reform at the grade school level. While the whole article is worth reading, by far the most provocative aspect of the piece is its assertion that American educators are incredibly skilled at deducing problems in pedagogy, even better at coming up with possible solutions for these problems, yet entirely inadequate at actually applying these solutions. Whether one agrees with this core argument or not, the article is a fascinating look at America's decades-long journey to improve math performance. Please read, discuss, and come back Monday for another featured post! "Why Do Americans Stink at Math?"
