When canned and conventional math methods (or dated and dead ideas) live on, and anxious teachers and parents rely on old school techniques to solve word problems, especially when oft-visual problem-solving strategies are available to help students with “look-see” solutions.
Tens of thousands of American math teachers are stuck with zombie math, refusing to experiment with Singapore’s more intuitive bar model method in solving brain-unfriendly math questions.

Get the maths mug.
A bullshit definition used by British people. This form of the the conjugation "mathematics" takes advantage of the rule of singular and plural conjugations. However the word is a conjunction of ab(remove) + scindere (tear). Literally then, to tear or cut apart, as the x-axis does to the coordinate plane. The main root is closely related to the Latin root from which we get the word scissor. The mathematical use of the term was apparently coined by Leibniz around 1855. In addition, this form of the word math(s) creates a paradox against the possessive rule of grammar.
