Ep 25 - Steve Leinwand has a few things to say about Algebra II

Steve Leinwand joins us to share his passionate belief that the traditional Algebra II curriculum (heck...all of high school math) often includes unnecessary repetition and outdated content, advocating for a more focused and relevant approach to the material that builds upon strong foundational algebra skills learned in earlier grades, emphasizing real-world applications and deeper conceptual understanding rather than rote memorization. Steve holds no punches!
