| | | | | The most common question students have about mathematics is "when will I ever use this?" Many math teachers would probably struggle to give a coherent answer, beyond being very good at following precise directions. They will say "critical thinking" but not much else concrete. Meanwhile, the same teachers must, with a straight face, tell their... | |
