The Math Section
Every big idea in math, retaught.
Mathematics is the clearest demonstration of the whole method, because traditional teaching fails it so consistently: procedures before models, speed before sense, rules before reasons. Each topic below shows the traditional approach, the Alice approach, the mental model that makes it click, where it transfers, the misconceptions to expect — and something to play with.
“Traditional teaching asks: can the child perform the procedure?
The Alice Method asks: does the child own the idea?”
