[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We've taught our kids addition (carrying), subtraction (borrowing) and are working on multi-digit multiplication and long division the way we were taught. We do also tell them they need to learn how the school teaches them math / That the school way is also important. I can see why CC helps with being able to do more in their head but as they get into higher math concepts [b]it's also beneficial and can be quicker to use other methodologies[/b]. [/quote] They do eventually learn the standard algorithm in ES. By end of 3rd, my DC was using the standard way. Now in 5th compacted math, they use mostly the standard way. There are slight differences, however. They still have to do it fairly quickly, though. They are timed on their tests.[/quote]
