[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In about third grade, mine came home asking about something that turned out to be square roots (lots of weird scratchings and awkward explanations went into figuring THAT out!).

They’ll always hit something totally unfamiliar before their test ends. That’s the entire point of it: it keeps getting progressively harder, until it hits a level where your kid misses more than 50% of the questions. [/quote]

Yes! My kid is great at math but I guess we never taught her to tell time because on her first MAP she ended up getting a million questions about clocks…she was annoyed at us. [/quote]
Apparently mcps skipped the tellibg time, geometry and money units in Eureka and and teachers are supposed to backtrack and do them at the end of the year. I guess they made this decision to give kids more time to work on remedial skills or work on number bonds[/quote]
Apparently they've been skipping the time unit for a while. Many of the MS kids I work with can't read an analog clock. [/quote]

I’m the PP whose child could not tell time. This actually makes me feel better! I was wondering if it was one of those things kids were expected to come in knowing and felt like we failed her. FWIW she is better at multiplication than telling time…[/quote]

I never saw anything about it in DC's Eureka book but just assumed it was something they should know so started teaching it to them myself. I consider this somewhat uninteresting and although hey mostly get it, I wouldn't say they got it down perfectly. [/quote]

She demanded I teach her after the test. We don’t own an analog clock and she hadn’t been in the classroom at that point. I have no idea if they ever covered it or will. Possibly not.[/quote]

I got a plastic one for teaching this off of Amzn[/quote]
