Ep 56: For parents. Why does "new math" look different?

Hey parents! Thank you so much for listening to part two of our series for parents. It can be really frustrating to not understand what it is your kid is doing on their homework. What is up with all of the drawing? Where are the algorithms and simple steps? In this episode we'll explain the purpose and goal of why the math on your kid's paper looks different.
Talking Points:

• Reasoning about math different than performing memorized steps
• We want reasoners, not calculators
• It is difficult to capture students' thoughts on paper
• As we become aware of what's possible, we can encourage better teaching
