so what you are saying is that when my nephew and niece have questions about their math homework, I should pop on here and ask you guys? and what is the difference between the "new math" and the "old math"? besides the terminology?

Actually you guys learned new math and don't even realize it. Anyone under the age of 55 definitely learned new math. New math was brought out to understand the basic concept of arithmetic instead of just learning algorithms. New math is really a system of borrowing and place value. Get ahold of Tom Lehrer's song "New Math".
Pun, it's not only funny, it "sums" it all up.
