The New, Flexible Math Meets Parental Rebellion

New math curriculum adopted by some school districts around country to address math phobia that afflicts many students has enraged many parents, who find their children cannot multiply easily or understand basic algebra (special report, Fuzzy Answers); at issue is 'constructivist' curriculum, approach that preaches it is more important for children to construct their own solutions to math problems than to learn standard rules--from multiplication tables to value of pi--handed down through centuries; new math has at its core passionate belief shared by tens of thousands of teachers that they can reach more children, especially low-achieving minority students, by dropping standard rules in favor of exercises that allow students to discover principles of math on their own; constructivist programs are being tried in more than half of New York City's 1,145 schools; critics say curriculum can be murky when used by inexperienced teachers who are themselves weak in math; parents around country are protesting what they say is 'fuzzy math' and systematic 'dumbing down' of mathematics teaching; photo; chart (L)
