2. 2 Plus 2: The Home Of Mathematically Correct Devoted to the concerns raised by parents and scientists about the invasion of our schools by the Category Science Math Education...... The advocates of the new, fuzzy math have practiced their rhetoric well. 2+2=5fuzzy math Invades Wisconsin Schools, .pdf file 80k by Leah Vukmir. http://www.mathematicallycorrect.com/

"There is a mathematically correct solution" This web site is devoted to the concerns raised by parents and scientists about the invasion of our schools by the New-New Math and the need to restore basic skills to math education. Mathematically Correct is the informal, nationwide organization that fights the Establishment on behalf of sanity and quality in math education. David Gelernter, NY Post Mathematics achievement in America is far below what we would like it to be. Recent " reform " efforts only aggravate the problem. As a result, our children have less and less exposure to rigorous, content-rich mathematics . The advocates of the new, fuzzy math have practiced their rhetoric well. They speak of higher-order thinking, conceptual understanding and solving problems, but they neglect the systematic mastery of the fundamental building blocks necessary for success in any of these areas. Their focus is on things like calculators, blocks, guesswork, and group activities and they shun things like algorithms and repeated practice. The new programs are shy on fundamentals and they also lack the mathematical depth and rigor that promotes greater achievement. Concerned parents are in a state of dismay and have begun efforts to restore content, rigor, and genuinely high expectations to mathematics education. This site provides relevant background and information for parents, teachers, board members and the public from around the country.

Paul Krugman Fuzzy Math The Essential Guide to the Bush Tax Plan Wielding his widely recognized powers of explanation, Paul Krugman lays bare the hidden facts behind the $2 trillion tax cut. With huge budget surpluses just ahead, the question of whether to cut taxes has shifted to when? and by how much? With Fuzzy Math , Paul Krugman dissects the Bush tax proposal and shows us who wins, who loses, and how quickly the tax cuts will consume the surplus. Always the equal-opportunity critic when it comes to faulty economics, Krugman also tucks into the Democratic alternatives to the Bush plan. This little book packs a big wallop. Together with major media appearances, it puts Krugman's wisdom and steely-eyed analysis firmly at the center of the debate about how to spend upwards of $2 trillion. It may very well change the course of history. Paul Krugman , who "writes better than any economist since John Maynard Keynes" ( Fortune ), writes the biweekly "Reckonings" column for the New York Times . Winner of the John Bates Clark Medal, Krugman teaches at Princeton University.

THE WALL STREET JOURNAL June 11, 1997 President Clinton's Mandate for Fuzzy Math By Lynne V. Cheney Marianne Jennings, an Arizona State business professor, has brought enlightenment to the multitudes. With her commentaries on her daughter Sarah's eighth grade math book ("MTV Math" she calls it, for its colorful pictures, disconnected ideas, and generally casual attitude), she has helped parents across the country realize they are not the only ones dismayed by current mathematics education. Kids are writing about "What We Can Do to Save the Earth," and inventing their own strategies for multiplying. They're learning that getting the right answer to a math problem can be much less important than having a good rationale for a wrong one. Sometimes called "whole math" or "fuzzy math," this latest project of the nation's colleges of education has some formidable opponents. In California, where the school system embraced whole math in 1992, parents and dissident teachers have set up a World Wide Web site called Mathematically Correct to point out the follies of whole-math instruction.

Kerby Anderson Commentary Fuzzy Math July 6, 1999 Concerned parents and political activists have been complaining about fuzzy math for years, but the battle over this new way of teaching math in Plano, Texas has started to bring the issue into focus. For years I've been reading about these new textbooks that change the way math is taught. These techniques are sometimes called "fuzzy math" or "whole math" or the "new new math." I've even heard of a textbook referred to as rainforest algebra because it spends a good portion of the book talking about ecology and the loss of rainforests instead of teaching algebra. Now you would think that math is math. But of course I used to think that grammar was grammar until educators introduced such things as the whole language approach and changed the way students learned English and grammar. The same seems to be taking place with these new math books. The textbook in question is called Connected Mathematics . Math is taught through group work and through discovery learning. In essence, students are to teach themselves and to work in groups. I well remember when that fad hit my high school my senior year. Since I lived just outside Berkeley, California I got to see some of these educational fads 20 years before most school districts. My math teacher came back from a seminar on group learning and implemented it in our pre-calculus class. Let me say it was pretty much of a disaster. Most of us learned math in spite of the program, not because of it.

Home Email Bible Links ... FAQs Fuzzy Math: Dispensationalism's 360-Day Year Daniel 9:25 Here is the passage that tells when the Messiah is to be expected: Daniel 9:25 Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks : the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times. Please see the article Which Decree? for a comparison of the different decrees of Ezra. The conclusion of that article is that from the decree of Ezra 7:12-26 (dated 458 B.C.) until the Messiah started His ministry (26 A.D.) was exactly 483 years. Note: The phrase " seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks " is equal to 69 weeks. Most scholars agree that the 69 weeks represent 69 weeks of years, or 483 years (69 x 7 = 483). However, dispensationalists (such as Clarence Larkin, Tim LaHaye, Hal Lindsey, etc.) believe that the decree of Nehemiah 2 (which is actually letters of passage) is the starting point of the 483 years. Let's compare the math involved in these two views. Please note that from 1 B.C. to 1 A.D. was only 1 year, not 2 years. There was no year 0. Let's look at the decree of Ezra 7:12-16 first.

17. The Surplus And Fuzzy Math The Surplus and fuzzy math. October 19, 2000 The presidential debates havecertainly been a forum to talk about phony numbers and fuzzy math. http://www.probe.org/docs/c-surfuzz.html

Kerby Anderson Commentary The Surplus and Fuzzy Math October 19, 2000 The presidential debates have certainly been a forum to talk about phony numbers and fuzzy math. But while the candidates debate each other's numbers, the biggest assumption in both of their plans is that there will be a major surplus in the first place. Earlier in the week, I talked about the possibility that the surplus could be a fantasy. Today, I would like to return to that subject by looking at another possibility. Even if the surplus arrives, it is possible that federal discretionary spending will eat up two thirds of the projected $4.6 trillion federal surplus. Let me pause long enough to point out that even the number $4.6 trillion is suspect. I have seen other estimates suggesting the federal surplus could be about half that. So even using a more generous number, it is possible that there will be less money available than either campaign wants to admit. Here's the problem. Governmental discretionary spending is rising at a rate of about 5.5 percent each year. According to the Concord Coalition, two thirds of the projected surplus will be consumed just by the growth of existing programs. The only way that will not take place is if Congress becomes uncharacteristically tight-fisted. That is not likely to happen during a time of budget surpluses. And the projections of surplus are based upon a continued stock market boom. The current federal surpluses come from the boom on Wall Street with resulting increased capital gains tax receipts. Is this boom going to continue? Not likely. And even a plateau will reduce the projected surplus. Imagine if the stock market falls.

Search Newdream.org Match ALL words Match ANY word Fuzzy Math: Cook the Planet, Cook the Books, Call it Growth By Jonathan Rowe Several months ago a professor at the University of North Carolina published findings that turned beliefs about the economy upside down. Health improves, he said, as the economy goes down. When the economy declines, to a point at least, deaths, smoking, obesity, heavy drinking, heart disease and some kinds of back problems all decline as well. "Sounds unlikely," said The New York Times. And indeed it is, by the standard reckonings at least. We all know that an expanding economy makes us better off - or do we? Another study, this one in England, found that shopping, which is the drive train of the entire economy, and which is supposed to make people feel good, actually can make them depressed. "For significant numbers, dissatisfaction is now part of the shopping process," one of the authors said. (As though we needed a study to tell us that.) What's going on here? How could we feel better when the experts say we should feel worse, and worse when they say we should feel better? Could it be that economists don't know up from down to begin with?

Home Top 100 Words Subscription Info Alphabetical Index ... About Words Search Word Spy: A Web site by Paul McFedries fuzzy math noun . Mathematics education that de-emphasizes memorization and rote learning in favor of a cooperative approach to solving problems. Example Citation: "A method that disdains the notion of adults hierarchically imparting knowledge to kids, integrated math does not require students to memorize multiplication tables, compute fractions or learn other basic skills essential to algebraic success. It's often rightly derided as ' fuzzy math ' because of its murky goals, which include, according to one popular integrated math program, 'linking past experience to new concepts, sharing ideas and developing concept readiness through hands-on explorations.'" Los Angeles Times , January 29, 2000 Backgrounder: This new approach to teaching math first appeared in the late 80s, and it didn't take long for the various names applied to it to split into two camps. Those in favor of the new methodology called it "constructivist," "integrated math," "whole math," or "new new math." Those opposed labeled it "fuzzy math" (which first appeared in 1994), "Mickey Mouse math," "math lite," or "algebra lite." Posted on September 28, 2000
