[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Students are exposed to it in 4th grade while they are taught other strategies. They are not expected to master it until sixth grade.[/quote] That is ridiculously late. What has happened to education standards over the last 20-30 years?? When I was in (public) elementary school. We learned long division up to 2 and even 3 digits in 2nd grade. [/quote] Where were you? When I was a kid in the 70s and 80s in DCPS and also a DC area private school, and when I taught in the 90’s until common core the standard was to introduce multiplication and division in 3rd. This had been changed to the end of 2nd, since common core, but usually only very small numbers. [/quote] You know I've been the passenger on a lot of planes but I've never been a pilot. Being a student doesn't make you an expert on curriculum[/quote] NP. The poster above says when they "taught in the 90s". Snark misfire.[/quote]
