It sounds like Everyday Math has a really good foundation in theory. I wish I'd had those extra zeroes; it explicates the theory while requiring minimum extra work. We learned the TERC method in my university (CS-hosted) Algorithms class as the "Russian method," and most in the class wished we had been taught that, instead of the arbitrary-seeming shortcut we learned in elementary school. Then again, in a class on algorithms, you're getting a lot of theory people and fewer practical people.
By: bunnykill100. on 22 Nov 08, 03:33:57
I loved this! I remember learning all these random methods, and constantly asking "but WHY?! I just want to know how to multiply them together!". I actually did rather poorly in math in elementary school because I didn't understand WHY I needed all of it. For math, you basically just need to know (for middle school): standard multiplication multiplication up to 12 x 12 long division fractions (+, -, /, *) decimals (how to turn them into reg. numbers) This shouldn't be that hard :S Thanks again!
By: Bellatrix22. on 22 Nov 08, 03:10:56
I learnt to use the standard algorithm and they taught us USING PLACE VALUES. It was more effiencent, easier to understand and we didn't waste "precious class time" drawing up boxes. I agree with wwleslie... there needs to be a balance with what they're teaching us. I've just finished year 11 Maths and I was disturbed at how many of my classmates haven't learnt long division in primary school. It make polynomial equations really hard for them. We "wasted" class time doing primary school work.

In countries that perform well on international math tests (mostly in Asia and Europe), they do not teach junk computation methods (like clustering and lattice for multiplication); their texts are more rigorous than anything we have, though. The problem with traditional American math texts is that they didn't teach students how to think (too much drill); the problem with the new texts (like TERC and Everyday Math) is that they don't teach students how to compute. Why can't we have both?

Wow she looks on her paper to much, if i do that on my oral I fail and get a D
By: rugaba. on 21 Nov 08, 04:07:05
I feel her pain, but unfortunately SHE IS DEAD WRONG. Math achievement has fallen significantly with respect to the rest of the world, and the countries who are dominating our kids are using methods similar to the TERC/Cluster. We must get on board with better math methods. Yes, it will be difficult at first, but more beneficial in the long run. She failed to demonstrate how much easier the TERC method is to use once you become proficient. Multi-digit multiplication becomes second nature.

This is outrageous I hope this is not being taught in my state of California..
By: silycaon. on 20 Nov 08, 12:45:36
its because with a dumb public, people dont ask questions or think for themself
By: TheBonnieRose. on 19 Nov 08, 20:17:40
Oh My God . . . the "cluster" method is so confusing and seems like an enormous waste fo time. I am shocked and horrified that they are actually teaching that as an introduction to learning multiplication. I can see offering this kind of prob. solution a year AFTER mastery of basic algorythums, perhaps to strengthen logic centers in the brain, but, as a method for basic math . . . NO WAY! What a scam.

i see a mathematical pattern of decay in education in Holland, where I live. Teachers cannot even count 4*3 without a calculator, and there were even suggestions to teach a new way of maths: 3*3 is an estimate of 10 would be correct... I am glad that I have been properly taught mats and I think it is needed, even with the new techniques like calculators and so on. Why use a calculator when you can compute it yourselve?Also the Dutch languages are changed to be easier every 3 to 5 years, why?
By: kayrom1. on 19 Nov 08, 16:41:08
Everyday Math is garbage. My two sons, who are very good at math, have come home with moronic homework such as "Find three things in your home that weigh about what you think this [picture of a book] weighs." My older son is now in seventh grade, and he came home one day last year, and said, "Hey Mom! I finally learned the right way to do multiplication! His SOCIAL STUDIES teacher taught him the basic algorithm.
By: ductapejewpirate. on 19 Nov 08, 03:41:13
As a future math teacher (the screen name is old...apologies for its classlessness) this really really irks me. I had heard rumors that they were teaching math like this. I cannot emphasize how much I believe calculators have become a crutch for our society! This is SO irksome! At the third presidential debate it was brought up by the moderators that we spend more per capita per student than any other country yet we're doing worse than a LOT of countries Maybe this should say something??
By: ElliotJohnNovak. on 19 Nov 08, 01:09:39
I was born in 1989 in Minnesota. I learned the "old way" of multiplication, but the same way of division that she showed. Only after I had learned the first way of multiplying did I ever encounter the other methods (lattice, etc). Props to Ms. McDermott for using her voice and education to speak about something she's passionate about.
By: Sagittaire888. on 19 Nov 08, 00:11:30
What is with these people who invented that complicated nonsense? Cluster? Partial Products?! Inefficient, crude, pitifully orchestrated, and TIME WASTING, is all I can say on those methods. No wonder kids grow stupider every day. Welcome to Academia.
By: meNtor890. on 18 Nov 08, 14:38:02
My teachers use to ask if we understand what they teach us, we say No when we don't. Then they explain more and ask what's the problem and then they explain the problem. I don't live in the US btw ;) The first division method and multiplication methods are the best

WHY! Washington state education is so messed up. Not only do we focus education to pass the most ridiculous standardized test, the WASL, but we prepare students with over complicated crap like this!

man I'm dizzy now... @_@
By: krononomikon. on 15 Nov 08, 15:09:18
I was thinking the same thing wouldn't you think, though, that the first method should be the most efficient, and then other methods taken after in order to help children who are having troubles? or perhaps just using other algorithms or clusters as a starting point to getting children to understand? what'd be awesome is if teachers were like "does anyone understand this?" during class and then work with the kid in front of the class, which would help everyone
By: cab52842. on 15 Nov 08, 03:17:47
I have taught Everyday Mathematics for years. You are correct when you say the "program" doesn't give sufficient practice time to master anything. But the important thing to remember is the state sets standards that districts must follow. One such standard in Texas is multiplication mastery. Also,common sense must prevail. The alternate methods are stepping stones to the sometimes confusing "standard" algorithms! Lattice is an excellent 2,000 year-old stepping stone, and it helps kids learn

FUCK MATH.
By: TigerlilyFL. on 13 Nov 08, 01:26:24
As a former special education teacher, I can see some value to these new methods once the standard algorithms have failed a particular student. However, It is vital to primarily focus on teaching the classic algorithms since that is what the parents know, it is simple, and it works for most kids (as I have seen). One of these newer approaches would be great to try with a kid who, after repeated tries, does not "get" the standard algorithm. That's my 2 cents! Thanks for posting!

oh and by the way Einstein probably suffered from dyscalculia bad example for opening credits.
