The issue is what math we are teaching, not the value of math as a subject. Statistics, probability, computation, estimation, & financial literacy should be taught to every student. When you make math all about “solving for X,“ you lose most kids. @dintersmith @CathyNDavidson
I concede to students they will likely never solve an equation outside of class. One might argue the same can be said in any subject. Place value on the process of learning, the struggle and the success. Speaking negatively about math based on a dislike of testing isn't helping.
