[quote=Anonymous]OP here. DC is in third grade. As 8:32 said, much of the homework has lines at the bottom of the sheet, which implies that the expected response is text, not numbers or pictures. Some homework asks for a visual explanation (e.g., arrays which DC has done ad nauseum since the beginning of the school year). My understanding is that MCPS is requiring these written responses now in anticipation of changes to the statewide testing next year that requires explanations of the answers. I do think that DC understands the underlying concepts and can explain the answers in pictures or equations/formulas. It's the translation of the numeric thinking into essay-type response that is difficult. Thanks to the PP re Khan Academy. We'll look into that.[/quote]
