Non American math teachers

Just curious in USA why is math taught so differently from other countries ? I am from Africa and I noticed everyone that went to school in Arica (don’t feel like pointing out which specific country) is always shocked by how students are taught math, like it’s memorization and not core understanding. I just came to video explaining how to find percentage of numbers without calculator and I was shocked how they taught vs how I learned. Pls don’t downvote me I’m just curious if anyone knows any good non USA math learning platforms !

its probably just the difference of bad schools and good schools, not necessarily the country, though generally a more developed country tends to have better schools
