Instead, students are subjugated to compete with what computers do best, and lose. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis is the only book to explain why being bad at maths may be as much the subject's fault as the learner's: how a stuck educational ecosystem has students, parents, teachers, schools, employers and policymakers running in the wrong direction to catch up with real-world requirements. But it goes further too, for the first time setting out a completely alternative vision for a core computational school subject to fix the problem and seed more general reformation of education for the AI age. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eContents\u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePreface \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003ePart I: The Problem\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Maths v.

Over the last 30 years he has been a key part of the technology transformation that has brought maths, computation and data science to the forefront of today's world and moved us towards the fourth industrial revolution. Conrad regularly appears in the media to speak about subjects ranging from the computational future and artificial intelligence to twenty-first-century education. His team's work to build a solution started in 2010 when computerbasedmath.org was founded--this book being a key milestone in the journey to fundamental reform.\u003c\/p\u003e\n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.9 x 8.9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e June 10, 2020\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42167171743879,"sku":"9781579550363","price":21.55,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/2623\/2711\/files\/9c9485ee2b5a53a4a9cb3bbb7729b6e1.webp?v=1733325786","url":"https:\/\/booksby.splitshops.com\/products\/the-maths-fix-an-education-blueprint-for-the-ai-age-paperback","provider":"Books by splitShops","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
