[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm no expert in this stuff, but the reliance on language seems like a HUGE problem in common core math, one which will disadvantage any kid who does not have good language skills for whatever reason. I'm not sure why the common core throws out a perfectly good system of symbols that has been developed over time to do math ... [/quote] I'm an ESOL teacher and math used to be the one area my students felt successful in while they worked on their language skills. Not anymore. My own son is starting to hate math because of the writing involved. 2-7=14. It is a math fact and by 3rd grade, they shouldn't require students to write about HOW they got this answer. They want them to memorize the facts at home so we did over the summer. But he got points taken off his written explanation for this math FACT. [/quote]
