Schools And Colleges Are Teaching The Wrong Type Of Math | StateImpact Florida

I agree with this. For most students, the type of Math taught in High School required for graduation is a waste of time (Algebra II). And the type that would be useful, statistics, is not taught.

Per the report just 5% of students use the math taught in the typical sequence, Geometry, Algebra II, Pre-Calculus and Calculus.

California requires two years of math, including Algebra 1. US's and Cal States require 3-4 years of math. Which may explain why the typical Cal State student, 60% require remediation in Math, English, or both.
