[quote=Anonymous]My child did Everyday Math in our local public school in FCPS. I hated it, but not because I couldn't understand it. It DOES explain alternate methods of coming up with solutions for multiplication problems or division. But it doesn't ever explain the most basic method like regular long division or multiplication. My child is in 5th grade now, and over the summer I was doing some basic review before starting a new school (we moved). I gave her a problem like 15x23. She didn't know the basic way to multiply, and it was taking her 10 minutes using Everyday Math methods. Ugh! I understand the alternative methods being presented (if there is time) because it gives a better understanding of what you are actually doing when you multiply or divide. But as the most common method for solving problems? No! Our new school uses EnVision Math, and I am much happier with it.[/quote]
