Nope, there's a difference between productive work and busy work.

This is busy work for math classes.

Why add up the difference between two numbers? Of course you can do it like that but it's not as quick as just doing simple subtraction.

He's saying these days you get marks deducted if you don't show your working no matter how trivial it may be for you

If that's the nightmare they've turned subtraction into, I shudder to think what they have in store for calculus.

Busywork. Instead of making 32-12 a matter of two operations, they're inflating it to...SEVEN.

Nah, the new way is anything but trivial. It turns a trivial problem into something overblown.

I think that by calculus, there's no normie to do normie math left.

"New" math
One last gasp at getting americans to do math before they're automated out of the workforce. It didn't work the last time it was shoved down our throats; it wont now.

In Sweden the set theory was taught to kids in the 70s.
