It depends....
In my kids' school district, math teaching is geared toward taking the district assessments and focuses specifically on learning what will be on the next assessment. Assessments are given quarterly. While this school district didn't exist 40 years ago, I don't remember taking any math test outside of school until I took the SAT in the mid '70s. I remember more being taught how to figure things out and being exposed to a broader range of topics and techniques than my kids are being exposed to today.
