[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] I have no problem with standards at all. I doubt that any parents have problem with standards. What I have a problem is the way they teach kids, the methods, the curriculum. My DD gets completely confused about what she's asked to do. And she's not struggling with language. She's ahead of class in language arts, she reads chapter books and understands them. [b]I don't think it's a brain science to explain to the first grader the basic arithmetic.[/b] You just have to be consistent and clear. If you're going to introduce 3 different ways to solve one problem at this age: 7+5=12 7+1+1+1+1+1 or 6+6 or 7+3+2, IMHO it's confusing to the kids because they don't know any methods yet. They just need one to get started. Which one should they practice? [/quote] What is your experience and background in teaching math to first-graders?[/quote]
