I have found a wonderful video that explains why math instruction has changed so much over time. So many times, parents want to know why is math different? Why can't the teachers just teach the standard algorithm to children. Here is the best explanation for what we do with math today and why we do it. I hope this sheds some light on the work you see your child doing:) It is called "Why is Math Different Now?" by Dr. Raj Shah https://vimeo.com/110807219. Please watch and share with others as well!
