Teaching Methods: Standard Algorithm vs. TERK Investigation vs. Partial Practice Method vs. Lattice Method
From the Presenter - Disadvantages of using Everyday Math in the classroom:
1. Inability to work alone to solve problems without checking with other people constantly
2. Lack of math fluency and ability to think logically like a math mathematician
3. Lack of mastery and confidence in basic math skills e.g. trigonometry, algebra and arithmetic
4. Complete dependence on calculator
