[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]http://www.nationalreview.com/article/373840/ten-dumbest-common-core-problems-alec-torres Here you go. I know, I know--it's not the standards![/quote] Other than the one with fractions (where there is no shaded area), I don't think these problems are confusing. Is it a bit different than before, sure, but I don't understand the big controversy. I think what happened is that the teachers are very inadequately prepared and there are no textbooks for the parents to refer to. The bottom line, the generation with the elementary school aged kids are bad at math. I do think some of the these questions are worded a bit awkwardly and some of the steps are unnecessary (color +1 with blues). Singapore Math uses very similar problems without any of these problems.
