Incorporating technology into the teaching of Math must be done with tack. What is essential in impacting mathematical knowledge is emphasizing conceptualization and not memorization.

Interesting!
And I think I have to agree with Kofi Ameko's apt observation also.
More of such educative articles.
Thanks for the piece anyway, Joe.

This has been in fact a global problem.
So much so that even neuroscientists currently are probing the problem: what would make the human brain better comprehend mathematics at a very early age.

The problem definitely is with the teaching, and making kids see math only as rigorous (and oftentimes painful) manipulations of numbers.
I had to grow up well into adulthood to be told at a science lecture that mathematics is about nothing but PATTERNS and their relationships.
Interestingly, that lecture ("Is God A Mathematician", by the famous NASA scientist Mario Livio") explored the beauty of mathematics as used by man versus nature.
Right from kindergarten, kids have to be exposed to patterns, shapes, and relationships between numbers, not only as a scholastic exercise but as related to the real world and the beauty of nature.

I always say Eyiah's are non-political and good for all. Let's see the intelligent minds @ work now. I myself hate Math but love calculations because of money! My primary school teachers caused that in me. Now according to the writer I need to help my children in doing their Math. Thank you for your encouragement but teacher, can teachers do more to help my children in Math?

As Mr Eyiah recommended, you must make an effort as a parent. For busy parents, EdHelper provides plenty of materials for a tiny cost ($30 a year). You go online and print the worksheets the content of which change everytime you long on. And they provide answer sheets as well.
My own experience is that WORD PROBLEMS force students to think. So rather than making your child memorize 7-3=4, you could have him solve the problem: " If you have seven bananas and you eat three of them, how many become available to donate to your friends?"
More importantly, word problems lay the foundation for Algebra.
EdHelper provides tons of word problems for students of any age.

Interesting article.However,many African children are at a disadvantage as they have to both learn a foreign language (English or French) and maths at the same time.Kids at the early stages of life should learn maths in their mother tongue.Look at India and China.Their children do their learning in their mother tongue.Now,they have joined the space age.Sub-Saharan Africans are still stuck at the bottom of the human pile.Ghana can do better once Ghanains overcome the tribal rubbish.
