[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is practical math?[/quote] Faster. Can be done in your head for the most part. My new math kids cannot add 44 + 27 in their heads at all. They have to write it out and do the boxes or pyramids. 44 + 27 = 40+4 and 20+7 40+20=60 4+7=11 60 +[u]11[/u] 71[/quote] I just asked my rising 6th grader to solve this in her head. She said she added 44 + 20 and then the 7. I, an old math person, mentally added the 7 and 4 in the ones column and carried the 1. Not sure mine was more efficient. [/quote]
