Big Ideas Made Simple
How do we teach?
How do we learn?
Problems (tasks which students do not already have the tools to solve) precede teaching of the focal mathematics necessitated by the problem.
That is, the major point of a problem is to raise questions that can be answered and encourage students to use their intuition to address the questions before learning new mathematical ideas (Deslauriers et al., 2019).

Big Idea
"Why can't we just teach math the way I learned it?"
The volume of work often necessitates computers who can perform the routine machine operations with great speed, but who need not have much logical insight into what the results should be...
Memo: "Computing Group Organizations and Practices at NACA" April 24th 1942
The old way of teaching math was to make you do it like a machine...
The new way is to understand it so you can build the machines!
To ensure that all students are mathematically equipped to solve the world's most challenging problems.
