In the subsection titled "1989 Curriculum and Evaluation Standards for School Mathematics," I noticed this phrase:
Although the standards were the consensus of those teaching mathematics in the context of real life, they also became a lightning rod of criticism as "math wars" erupted in some communities that were opposed to some of the more radical changes to mathematics instruction such as Mathland's Fantasy Lunch and what some dubbed "rainforest algebra". Some students complained that their new math courses placed them into remedial math in college, though later research found students from traditional curricula were going into remedial math in even greater numbers. (See Andover debate.)
I was curious as to why people were supposedly calling it that but only really found one article from the Christian Science Monitor (whose author incidentally also did not explain why she called it that):
link. With this in mind, is it really worth including considering the "some" in the phrase "what some dubbed.." appears to be one person?
