Debate 49 - Is Math Ed Broken?

Описание: Text us your thoughts! (https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/tex...)


Math has often been seen as the universal language — a foundation of science, technology, and problem-solving. But it’s also often a source of struggle, frustration, and even fear for thousands of students. So what’s going on? Is there a problem with how we teach math? Or is this criticism missing the point — overlooking the structure, logic, and discipline that make math so powerful in the first place? Some say we’re losing rigor in the name of relevance; others say we’ve clung too tightly to outdated methods that no longer serve our students.In this episode, we want to explore what’s working, what’s not, and what a truly effective math education might look like in the 21st century, as we debate the resolution: Math Education in the US is Broken.
