Why Johnny Can't Add
Why Johnny Can't Add: The Failure of the New Math is a book written by Morris Kline, first published in 1973. In it, Kline severely criticized the teaching practices characteristic of the "New Math" fashion for school teaching, which were based on Bourbaki's approach to mathematical research, and were being pushed into schools in the United States.[1][2] Reactions were immediate, and the book became a best seller in its genre and translated into many languages.[3]
