[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The most ridiculous problem I saw in compacted math 5/6 was: show why 72 degrees is higher than 58 degrees. If you say 72-58 = 14, therefore 72>58, you get only partial credit. Child has to show it with at least 3 different methods to get full credit.[/quote] This is when I open up the bottle of wine and pour myself a glass. Three different methods?? :shock: [/quote] First year 2.0 was rolled out, my 3rd grader had to solve 1+2 TEN different ways. I don't disagree with everything in the 2.0 math curriculum but they focus on too many techniques, and then not enough practice on mastery of memorization and using the equation method (which they need for advanced math) to solve problems. Two years ago I caught my 5th grader using a number line to solve a fraction problem. How is he going to do advanced math if he is thinks he should be drawing a number line to subtract fractions?[/quote]
