by "progress" I'll assume you meant "change intended to improve." I learned math one way- but I learned it- when I graduated HS I could do calculus like mad- should have seen me!!!
my kids' second grade math was already stuff I had never seen- so they needed new books to learn that. but say if they had to learn math the way I did, I submit that would be better than not learning it, or stated otherwise- if their textbooks were still mine they have no excuse not to know how to do calculus when they graduate HS.
