      (This came up on Square One TV when I was a kid Months typically have four seven-day weeks, plus a few days extra It is very tempting to round down and just say "one month = four weeks" But if you do that for the whole year, you've cheated someone out of 4 weeks out of 52)

      (That particular example, even though you'd think it's a fucking obvious one, is one that's been used to fuck over uneducated people in the wild before Hence you always count the number of weeks in a year by dividing 365 / 7 = 52 plus a day, not by adding up the months)

      I just want to know what "Western Math" is? 😆

      So - I looked at the actual proposal and it's using "Western" in quotes because a great deal of mathematics is NOT remotely "western" and it's origins - but our text books often pretend it is and hold up knowledge of our retelling as "intelligence".pic.twitter.com/u8KAIxd91q

      The curriculum is obviously NOT demonizing MATH! Learning it is an act of liberation = doesn't sound like the curriculum is calling math racist, does it?pic.twitter.com/9aaZHH6f9O

      Reading through the proposal - I suspect that in practice it will include a great deal of History of Mathematics (which is fantastic) and simply use socially relevant contexts while teaching the basics. Those approaches are tried and true ways of keeping students motivated.

      In many ways it's MUCH more pedagogically sound than either using contrived contexts or none at all. These students will likely be better bullshit spotters than your average math students since they are diving into real-life applications & critical thinking immediately.

      Paul Lockhart's A Mathematician's Lament started this, I think, making the very controversial statement that a math curriculum should make History of Mathematics *central* to its organization and content, rather than some afterthought you take as an elective in college

      In much the same way that art or music are never taught without art history or musical history Math isn't some set of procedures you're programming kids to perform like they're components in a mainframe It's a field of human endeavor done by specific people for specific reasons

      You wouldn't just try to mechanically teach someone to paint as this isolated thing that has nothing to do with the painters of the past that made painting into a tradition that people wanted to join in the first place

          You wouldn't train people to become musicians by just practicing scales by rote without listening to music for pleasure, without following other musicians of the past and present and developing attachments and preferences and fandoms

          I remember my geometry class. My teacher told us about pytharogas. (Name??). And I was like, geometry is Greek and what they used to build the temples? Cool!
