Are we teaching math correctly?

For my blog today, I decided to watch the TED talk by Conrad Wolfram who argues for the teaching of math using computers. As someone who has "struggled" a great deal with math I spent my childhood telling myself I wasn't good at math so it could excuse the fact that I didn't understand math the way it was being taught to me. I genuinely used to think that there were people with math oriented brains. Granted, there are people who are just naturally better at math, just like there's people who are naturally better at basketball or tennis. But I wouldn't say there's such a thing as a "math oriented brain". Wolfram talks about the falling interest in math education, however our world is becoming more and more dependent on technology, which consequently means the world is becoming more and more dependent on math. Wolfram argues in this TED talk that the reason why people are feeling the way I just described is because we're not teaching math in schools, we're teaching how to calculate, which would explain why there are some people who are better at calculations than others. Wolfram breaks down what math is into four steps, asking questions, turning real world problems into formulas, computation, and then formulation. He says that we spend most of our time in math education trying to teach the third step, computation, Wolfram argues instead that we should be focusing on the other three steps while allowing computers to do the computation for us. If schools spent more time teaching math in this manner then there would be a lot more kids who thought of themselves as good at math, which would benefit society as a whole.
