[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] It's a crock of shit and will ruin many kids for math. [/quote] I guess you say this because it is not the way you were taught. But, it actually does help kids understand what they are doing when they are adding. I am likely older than you, and when I was taught math in elementary it didn’t make sense to me. So, I would come home and my dad would “reteach” me - my dad, who had his masters in physics. He actually taught me to add left to right. Doing this helped me understand the algorithm. A good teacher knows how to help kids understand what they are doing. [/quote]
