[quote=Anonymous]NP here. It is true that new math/common core math tries to emphasize the conceptual, but it overdoes it. I can see spending a day doing regrouping this way but then, MOVE ON to the simplest, most efficient way possible. This kind of teaching assumes that kids need constant reminders about the concepts and it absolutely slows down the stronger students and, in fact, by adding multiple steps, often introduces more opportunities for the conceptually quick but absent-minded kid to make mistakes. Wait till you get to long division, OP. Seriously. Google common core long division. It will give you pause. Thankfully Virginia doesn't have the Common Core and our school teaches algorithms in a fairly old school way (after introducing concepts of course!).[/quote]
