Draft national curriculum pushes 'trial and error' as 'primary method' of problem solving

The Centre of Independent Studies' Glenn Fahey says there is a "really big" push in the draft national curriculum to make "trial and error" the "primary method" to problem solve in mathematics. The remarks come amid backlash from mathematics academics on the curriculum's changes to problem solving in the subject. "You need to be able to have foundational skills to be good at doing maths because of course problems are you applying the knowledge you already have," he told Sky News host Peta Credlin. "But there's a really big push, and this is what's really present in the draft curriculum's proposal, and that's to reinforce the language: exploration, experimentation and investigation." "It's effectively telling teachers they should allow their kids to use trial and error as the primary method to introduce new content. "And if they get the answer right it's hoped, and it's very much hoped in this case, they'll somehow backwards engineer the knowledge required to solve that problem then generalise that knowledge."
