OREANDA-NEWS. February 26, 2013. ERR - British education visionary Conrad Wolfram has picked the country to test a computer-based method of teaching math.

Wolfram's organization ComputerBasedMath is working out a curriculum whereby children will solve everyday problems while computers do the 'hard work' of complicated calculations, reported Eesti Paevaleht.

Wolfram said that math lessons are often distant from 'real life' and children find them boring. School children spend 80 percent of lessons calculating and only 20 percent of the time learning mathematical thinking.

Wolfram was looking for a small country with strong math and IT skills and an interest in experiments in education.
