For those of you who didn't know, they used to teach mathematics a little differently. Here's how they do it now.
(and FYI, yes I am lip-syncing. Now stop asking about it)

"Since examinations are the favour of the month, I will also take this opportunity to introduce the work of Tom Lehrer and RonfarZ3:
RonfarZ3 covers Tom Lehrer's comic song New Math (1965)
For your information, Thomas Andrew (Tom) Lehrer (born April 9, 1928) is an American singer-songwriter, satirist, pianist, and mathematician. He used to lecture on mathematics and musical theater. As for RonfarZ3, he is "the guy who gets all the jokes" (according to him)."

"I don't think process matters more than results; I think both are important, but in order to truly see conservatism ascendant, we have to produce positive results with the process. Otherwise, we have New Math, which as Tom Lehrer delightfully skewers in his song of the same name, getting the right answer matters less than understanding the process. Here's the Professor at his mathematical best, animated and lip-synched brilliantly by RonfarZ3 and Benjamin M W at"

For instance, the video snippet, New Math, by Tom Lehrer (performed by Ronfar z3) explains that New Math is all about understanding what you doing rather than getting the right answer . . .
