82: Say This to Parents to Explain “New Math”

Send us a text

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
