It’s hard to show in words I’d need a math problem and a piece of paper. But it was far simpler and straight forward.

“New” math attempts to account for multiple ways people learn which in theory is great, but it’s not really practical.

I think they should teach you all the different ways and allow you to do everything in the way that works best for you as an individual.
