These new ways are BS.


This question may be BS but the "new way" is actually teaching kids to think about math more logically which will help them as the math gets harder (algebra, calculus etc). The "new way" is actually the way people good at math have always done it. It does make it harder for a lot of kids at the beginning though. Just have to stick with it.

is harder than the old way and is more beneficial in the end. It helps the kids work on their problem solving and critical thinking skills, along with their math skills.

My kid (10yo) understands the new math well. My only complaint is that they don't memorize multiplication tables anymore.

I downloaded RocketMath for him and it sends me reports. it's speed multiplying/dividing and it worked great.
