[quote=Anonymous][quote]Does my son know why he is doing it the way the teacher has modeled? No. He is questioning why anyone would do math that way because he knows of easier ways of solving the problems. He just isn't allowed to use the methods he already knows because they want him to do it a new way with 10 steps vs. the 2 step method my son knows. [/quote] My DD has the same experience. Math is more of a game of how to follow instructions and present the problem solving in the model the teacher expects. There is no critical thinking, just pattern recognition. Its worse since the material is so easy. Sadly. DD who used to be very interested in Math thinks its boring and not useful just something you have to do. [/quote]
