[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Suggestion from a Ph.D. who earns his living from math: Don't worry about it. Make sure she understands the concept, and is able to solve the problems. You should be able to say if she understood or not without forcing her to write 3 explanatory sentence why 10 x 10 = 100. Otherwise you will just make her hate math. MCPS math curriculum is ridiculously easy. And yet it insists students to write and write and write to "show their understanding" of primitive concepts. [/quote] Another Ph.D. who earns her living from math here -- disregard this PP. If you can't explain the concept, that means you don't really understand the concept. And, as the MCPS-teacher PP says, you don't have to write "3 explanatory sentences". There are lots of different ways to explain it.[/quote]
