[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Anyone know how to answer this question:

How does testing solutions help you learn about unit fractions and equal areas?

Um, I'm stumped, and my kid doesn't have a clue. Tried google, but couldn't find an answer. Given that homework doesn't count for diddly squat under 2.0, I'm not inclined to agonize over this. Nonetheless, I'm wondering if anyone actually knows the correct answer. I'm just a lawyer, so I'm I'll equipped to answer such a question. Perhaps an mcps teacher who understands the point of 2.0 math can shed some light.[/quote]

I'd be inclined to say that "testing solutions" means looking at fractions/equal areas and finding possible ways to solve the problem? Or help understand fractions and area? That's my take on it anyway.

I'm in grad school, just spent a semester in regards to math intervention and the Common Core and I still don't have a full idea over what it means lol. My district isn't participating in 2.0, but I do know the Common Core places a strong emphasis on developing fluency and understanding in math i.e. coming up with solutions to solve problems and knowing why equations work.

I would have your child mark it with a question that he didn't understand the problem so he can conference with his teacher about it (hopefully his teacher allows that). I'd imagine they must go over homework.[/quote]
