That's interesting. I was almost certain that most math was taught the same way in the US and Canada, because our educational curricula are almost the same. Maybe it varies from state to state?
I've only been out of high school for ~3 years, so everything that I've learned is still pretty fresh in my little brain.

It really has. Perhaps I will learn more about different math formulas, etc, when I get to teacher's college.
