The Differences in the Way We Teach Math to Children

Math is certainly not my expertise, but i was fascinated by a video that they showed, actually, at my children's school. And one of the big things that just really sticks with me has to do with a lot of what you're describing. What gets lost is when we just have them doing things that they've memorized, but they don't actually mean anything to them. It's just this, you know, data in, data out. But there's no mind actually being leveraged in that process.
