I’m not sure if they teach the times tables anymore but the way they teach math has certainly changed a lot since I was in middle school. I volunteer as an after-school tutor and I have a really hard time when kids bring me the “common core” multiplication and long division. The kids do actually seem to learn math better with their criss crossy drawings that they do to “solve” the problems but I can’t wrap my brain around it.
