[quote=Anonymous]Showing multiplication by coloring area models is not an art project. My 4th grader has used the area models. The colors allow him to see how to decompose the numbers so that he can do the mental multiplication. This is the same way that the old curriculum used different colors when multiplying by the ones place, the tens place, etc... The children do plenty of problems and are expected to get the answers correct. According to my son's teacher, there are more expectations in 4th grade math compared to the old curriculum. I have heard the same of Algebra (though my oldest isn't there yet). Try not to judge until your child is in the class and there is something to complain about.[/quote]
