Multiplication algorithm poll

Dave at Math Notations has an interesting poll up, till Feb. 29th. It asks about which multiplication algorithm should be taught in grades 3-5 for multidigit multiplication, and if mastery should be required.

If you're interested in that issue, go check it out and vote:

43x27? Which Algorithm should be taught? A MathNotations survey will end the debate!

(The part about ending the debate is mentioned tongue-in-cheek, I'm sure :)
