As a new grandmother who studied math in college I am appalled at this attempt to weaken a young mind in solving any mathematical equation. Created by the masterful Greeks it is horrific to see this attempt to change the theoretical process of pure math. Now I have to teach my grandson how to turn in new math homework to be graded but I vow to show him the pure math solution. Our Prussian based education system is completely damaged. Breaking apart numbers so it’s easier to understand is such a disgrace. How can any educational institution allow teaching such a deviant path away from the pure math created by the Ancient Greeks?
