America did this too. There was the New Math trend in the 50-60s which feels like common core. Here's a comedy song about it from that era.https://youtu.be/UIKG

- jnbiche 6y agoNew Math was very far from Common Core. New Math included generous coursework on abstract algebra and discrete mathematics, both of which are almost entirely ignored in Common Core. Common Core is carefully considered, but pretty traditional. Common Core is still a good curriculum for the minimal level of math US society wants primary and secondary students to learn. But it's not nearly expansive and innovative as New Math was.
