[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are no goals for that that I am aware of. More important to be able to draw pictures to show deeper understanding than be able to recite facts. [/quote] Well, yes, actually, it is, in first or second grade. If you had to choose one or the other, which would you prefer a second-grader to be able to do? 1. Memorize "five times four equals twenty" 2. Be able to show that 5 x 4 = 20 using a five-by-four array of dots, and/or explaining that 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 (i.e., five 4s) is 20, and/or explaining that 4 x 5 = 20 so 5 x 4 = 20, and/or explaining that 5 x 2 = 10 so (5 x 2) x 2 = 20, and/or explaining that 4 x 4 is 16 so add one more 4 to make 20.
