[quote=Anonymous]3rd grader: 20 minutes of reading and a math packet per week (usually 2 pages Monday-Thursday). I hate the math packet. Most of the time, it's far far too easy. Then, occasionally, they add a "challenge" question that is poorly written and way, way too hard. Here is an example from last week: "Tabitha is a building manager. The building has apartments numbered consecutively starting with 1. Each digit costs one dollar at the hardware store. Tabitha spends $282. " The actual question had been forgotten! I told my son the question was: "How many apartments are there?", and walked him through the multi-step process. He was disheartened at the complexity of the answer. I wish there could be more simpler, two-step word problems in between the basic additions and superduper complex stuff. What a dumb way to teach math. [/quote]
