[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I asked my husband to help my child with her math homework because I had a meeting. He didn't watch the instructions, he didn't look at the written instructions, he just told DD how he thought she should do it. She got the right answer, but the show your work part was completely different from what she learned in today's math lesson (I sit in the next room, I heard part of the lesson)! He didn't take the time to listen to the instructions, he didn't ask DD what she learned in today's lesson, he just plowed ahead and told her how to do it his way. He doesn't get that we have to reinforce the lessons that the teacher is teaching. I'm so annoyed because it just ends up confusing DD more and more, and then I turn into the bad guy because I asked her to do it over the way she learned in today's lesson. So annoying!!!![/quote]
I'm going to respecfully disagree. It is just good practice to teach multiple methods for solving math problems. Do you want your kid to understand how math works in general or do you want your kid to memorize a single solution?[/quote]

I do agree with this, absolutely, but at this point I just don't want my kid to get dinged by her teacher because she did the problem "incorrectly". She got a bad score on a math quiz last week because it was in Google forms and she added context instead of just typing in the answer, so Google marked several answers as incorrect. The teacher apparently didn't look at the answers, only the scores (yes, we did email the teacher about that, but haven't heard back).[/quote]
