I didn’t watch the video, but the new math helps make mental math easier. It scales better than old math.
I can see that ... my mental math uses the same approach.

In my method I just saw 350+70 = 420
Using a slide rule for 4 years at Ga Tech helped to ingrain mental math because a slide rule does not give you a final result.

I just looked at it and said 420.
I remember Teachers never liked it when I just wrote the answer without 'showing my work'.
I wonder if kids can do that today with New Math in their background.
That “new math” looks like it’s getting kids ready for things like “least common denominator”, decimals, order of operations, and logical analysis. Terrible things.
