As an american who went through US-based curriculum in the 90s, this sounds FUCKING WONDERFUL.
Basically - it seems like the approach above treats math as a conceptual playground, where you should develop intuition and understanding.
Instead we seem to be going down the rote memorization route for most of our classes, where the goal was to apply an equation to some numbers and get the right answer, with little to no thought, and an emphasis on easy grading.

Our physics education seems quite similar, though - and I loved that.
