IMO, this is one teacher who gets it. There is a lot of math that is entirely about answers that are right or wrong. Most of the time that includes how you arrived there. Given the references to MAP and Common Core in the blog, I'm sure there's a lot of that in the classrom. However, there is so much of the K-12 education that arguably should be about exposure. Discussion about probabilities of pictures and phrases on a number line is a great example. Have kids make their case among peers regarding why 'It will rain tomorrow' is .9 in one group, but .75 in another. For most, you don't get to pick your desired area of study/career until College. So why not use K-12 to expose kids to all sorts of different things without standardized tests as the only goal?
