Yay! I'm glad you posted this video!
I'm intrigued. We've been talking about math at the Eldest's school for some time now, and the lattice and magic seven methods are perfect examples of why: they teach a method, or procedure for solving a problem. But not the essential understanding of why or how the problem is solved.
The cluster problem approach seems to get closer to that understanding, but not quite. And yet, I know that I didn't learn the basic concepts from the "standard" formulas that she demonstrates. And according to my reading, many American children learn the algorithm - but not the concept.
I'm leaving this video with a sense that none of the three methods (traditional, TERC or Elementary Mathematics) is doing the job. Which makes me wonder why she thinks that Singapore would.
