Karl Fisch's Best of the FischBowl February 2007 post, titled "A Formula for Success?", expresses his concern for the way mathematics is taught in schools today. Math is often taught by giving a formula and then plugging in values. This method is not acceptable.
To truly understand math you need to understand the why and how of mathematical applications. You also need to understand and realize how those mathematical applications apply to real life situations. Giving students examples of real life situations involving math may help them to understand how important it is to understand mathematical processes.
