If you look back 50 years into history, you will notice that U.S as a country has made many great advancements. For example, the invention of technology allowed us to create more efficient machinery for farming. We have also made cars more reliable and quicker as well as safe. However, there is one thing that hasn’t changed in over these 50 years, math. Math has been taught the same since your grandparents were in school. This is bad because with new technology comes new problems and new math formulas and strategies are needed, however the math being taught doesn’t teach us these things. I personally believe that we need a new way to teach math.

When learning math, most teachers simply teach the formula meaning and then provide examples.
