[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]"Explain why" is a stupid, make-work question? [/quote] Yes, if you are explaining why one-third plus one-third equals two-thirds. Tell me why is one plus one equal two? [/quote] I'm guessing that you've never taught children about fractions.[/quote] It is a stupid question, but it isn't required by common core. The "Explain why" came from somewhere else. A good question would be "Show that 2/6 = 1/3 by using numbers , symbols OR words" This IS required by Common Core.[/quote]
