Stop Calculating And Start Teaching Computational Thinking

Schools around the world teach calculation. But computers do that far better and faster than humans. There's no need to add fractions, teach long division or factor polynomials--let computers do that. Instead, "humans should learn to use computing tools to address increasingly complex problems." That's the conclusion of Conrad Wolfram, Strategy Director at Wolfram Research, the world's leading computational resource, as outlined in his new book, The Math(s) Fix: An Education Blueprint for the AI Age.
