As someone who teaches at the college level, I hope it works! Many American student come in not only unfluent with basic mechanical moves like adding fractions and dealing with exponents, but with little "number sense." Finding that you need to go -0.55 miles an hour to go from Cleveland to St. Loius (about 550 miles) in ten hours just does not faze some of them at all.
In college I'm always asking students to analyze the results to applied calculus questions and it can be a struggle and a revelation. You mean these numbers have meaning?!
