[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] The standard for money is a second-grade math standard: CCSS.Math.Content.2.MD.C.8 Solve word problems involving dollar bills, quarters, dimes, nickels, and pennies, using $ and ยข symbols appropriately. Example: If you have 2 dimes and 3 pennies, how many cents do you have? [/quote] Requiring word problems in 2nd grade when many children are still learning to read is a problem. So that standard is a "FAIL" right here. [/quote] Here is a word problem about making change from Singapore Math 2B: "Hassan bought this pencil sharpener. [Picture of pencil sharpener with a sign that says 45 cents] He gave the cashier $1. How much change did he receive?" How come children in Singapore were able to do this? Do children develop differently in Singapore?[/quote] Some of them can. I'm sure not all of them can. That's the problem with the Common Core. It demands everyone be in lock step, which will never work. [/quote]
