Looking Back at Gmail's Mail Goggles: My Most Maddest of Mad Minutes
Canadian Journal of Science, Mathematics and Technology Education, v21 n4 p824-839 Dec 2021
As a Canadian mathematics educator, I have a vested interest in Canadian mathematics education matters. After all, to me, Canadian mathematics education matters. It should come as no surprise then that I have followed the most recent debate over the teaching and learning of mathematics here in Canada for the past decade. The problem, at least for me, is that the debate is now stale. More and more results, results that are meant to measure the math skills of young Canadians, are reported and I already know what will happen, how things will play out in the media, who will say what, blah, blah, blah. To be honest, I do not even bother weighing in on the matter any more. In fact, I was just about to put what has become known as the Canadian Math Wars behind me for good, but then I stumbled onto a file folder while upgrading my computer. There, sitting in a file, was the information I needed to once again rekindle my interest. In what follows, I detail my efforts to establish the grade level equivalent for the math skills displayed by inebriated, adult Canadians. Having now scratched that itch, I am ready to move on and start looking for other Canadian mathematics education matters. Stay tuned.
