I find a major flaw in her argument. She says students in a college class she took did not know how to multiply basic facts without a calculator and other major problems. THESE STUDENTS SHE IS TALKING ABOUT WERE NOT TAUGHT USING EVERYDAY MATH OR INVESTIGATIONS. The Everyday Math and Investigations products are designed for elementary students and have not been around long enough for the students in her college classes to have had them in elementary school. THESE STUDENTS SHE IS REFERRING TO ARE PRODUCTS OF THE OLD, TRADITIONAL MATH PROGRAMS!!!! The Everyday Math program was first published in 2001, the year the lady said she was in the college class!!! Students who could have been taught using EDM or Investigations for most of their elementary years (starting with 2nd grade, let's say) would only be in 7th grade this year (2006-2007).
