	New math - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		New math is a term referring to a brief dramatic change in the way mathematics was taught in American grade schools during the 1960s.
		In the consciousness of many Americans in the late 20th and early 21st century, New math is reputed to have been a relatively ineffective approach, sometimes the object of mockery.
		New Math emphasized mathematical structure through abstract concepts like set theory and number bases other than 10.

	The new Insight
		Maths was presented to children as the framework of nature, the truth, the law of God.
