This definitely isn't some kind of holistic approach to math. It's basically just here memorize this probability forumla, and the algorithm for multiplying two brackets together, because that's what you're getting tested on at the end of the year.

I could understand if it was something like showing how bracket multplication works by adding in an example from geometry like this http://math1sfun.wordpress.com/category/algebra/expanding-br...

But it's nothing like that at all.
