[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]https://twitter.com/x0x0robinXoXo/status/515358849537409024/photo/1 another example[/quote] I really don't see what is wrong with this...I'm in my early 40s and don't consider myself strong with math. This is how I compute. I can't tell you 8+5=13, but I can round up to 10s and then add the remainder, which is what this problem teaches. Maybe I'm gifted at math!!!!! :) Seriously, I have math geek friends who said that Everyday Math was like college math. I'm going to go with those who "get" math who say that the reasoning is the most important. Common Core teaches kids how to think, and for so long we've been saying that's what we want kids to learn. We have friends who don't want their 6th graders in pre-algebra or algebra because it's too difficult a track. I never know what we're talking about: first the standards are too low, then they are too high. [/quote]
