[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] I don't understand why they had to toss out perfectly fine, plain English words (add and subtract, multiply and divide) for words like compose and decompose. That last one especially always makes me cringe. [/quote] Don't worry, they still use add, subtract, multiply, and divide. But none of those four words means what compose/decompose mean. If you know a fine, plain English word for this, please tell me; I don't know one.[/quote] Well, from what I can tell when my kids are "decomposing" it looks like they are just breaking numbers apart (or how about "separating" them) into ones, tens, and hundreds. And as far as I can tell, when they're "composing" they're simply adding up the place values. I'm sorry but decomposing reminds me of rotting bodies. [/quote]
