EducationCurriculum Management2MildTutor
A homeschool tutor is frustrated that incoming year 3 students were taught fraction-to-decimal conversion using calculators instead of building foundational conceptual understanding, making the tutor feel their math instruction is undermined.
No software explicitly mentioned, but the gap is that calculators are being used as a shortcut for conceptual math learning; purpose-built math practice software with step-by-step visualization and no calculator mode is needed.
