Imagine! Math facts and algorithms to free up working memory for more complicated calculations. It marks a step back from “new math” and “inquiry-based” teaching approaches that emphasize such things as estimating and multiple “strategies” in basic calculations — complicated methods of solving math problems in a bid to develop students’ deeper understanding of how those calculations work. nationalpost/m/wp/blog.html?b=news.nationalpost%2F2013%2F09%2F13%2Ffrustrated-professors-convince-schools-to-step-back-from-new-math-and-go-back-to-basics
