What's our take on "NEW MATH" aka Common Core?
Truthfully, we don't believe there is a new math.  Math exists with or without our acknowledgement. 
 However, we understand the frustration.  At Math For The Middles, our strategies are based in mathematical accuracy.  Learners are taught to conceptually understand concepts, become fluent with procedures and algorithms and best of all be able to reason mathematically.  This means we use whatever strategy works best for enrolled learners and we do not exclude any methods that hold up mathematically nor exclusively use only one method.  "It's okay to carry the one with us😉"
