I personally quit using textbooks about five years ago and create my own materials. With more and more online delivery textbooks are becoming obsolete. I can put everything in a PowerPoint presentation and post it. There is no reason for the kids to dig through a textbook to find explanations and examples.

Of course I teach math and physics, no one is really trying to screw with those standards yet.

Common Core hasn't screwed with math education? - BigDave MU - 8/11 10:32:32

Common Core is not political it was created by math teachers - DHighlander NWMSU - 8/11 10:40:19

I've heard a lot of parents flip out about Singapore math - TigerMatt STL - 8/11 11:03:01

That is exactly the problem. Parents were taught processes - DHighlander NWMSU - 8/11 11:14:04

You've not heard of ethnomathematics? (nm) - ummmm MU - 8/11 10:26:30

Yeah, but that isn't mathematics. That is more along the - TigerMatt STL - 8/11 11:08:50

It has never been discussed in any math meeting I have ever - DHighlander NWMSU - 8/11 10:32:55

And you did not read my response. Math teachers do not take - DHighlander NWMSU - 8/11 10:48:04
