I'm an old fart, and admittedly old school (hey, I made a funny, lol). I just know that I can balance my checkbook every month, make change without a calculator, and determine how long it takes to get to my brother's house at a certain speed, and I do it with math I learned in the 1960s.

It may well be that this new method enables people to more easily handle math related issues in their day to day lives, but I believe I am destined to make do with what I've got, which seems to serve me well.

Absolutely! There’s nothing wrong with staying within ones comfort zone...until you can’t.

Admittedly, I’m old school too, but I have enough background in higher math to see what they’re trying to do, and it’s a sound approach that will put the average kid on par with “our” best math students.
