I will have a book out around October called "Traditional Math" that shows what explicit instruction looks like in the classroom from K-8. It dispels many of the myths described in the above mentioned research paper; i.e., traditionally taught math does teach understanding--it just doesn't obsess over it to the extent that it holds up students' progress when they are ready to move on.
Thanks. Draft chapters were posted on my Substack account if you want some sneak peeks. But be aware, there are math errors in some of the chapters. I will announce the availability of the book at this account. Feel free to subscribe: https://barrygarelick.substack.com/

I will keep an eye out for it, Barry!
