[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it’s different now than when we grew up. They learn concepts instead of just straight memorization. I bet if you look at what your kid is doing, the division concepts are all there even if they aren’t learning how to divide 150 by 5 or whatever. [/quote] This.[/quote] Yeah, but IME learning the concept doesn't translate to actually doing the problem. We could talk about groups and cupcakes all day, along with drawing lines between circles, but it didn't help my 8 year old to look at 150/5 and know how to solve. He still had to be taught 150/5 = 30 and have that explained again, and have drills of multiple division problems written in standard algo.[/quote]
