[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think this is pretty common with common core. Kids seem to understand the concepts well but the rote memorization isn't there and can hinder things when the concepts get more complex. The only way to get faster is to practice a lot. [/quote] Both my kids have learned math under CC standards. They both are pretty quick with mental calculations now (5th and 2nd). By 2nd grade, they should be doing some quick calculation math strategies, like "make a 10", "doubles", etc.., at least, they do in our mcps "low-rated" ES. I don't think this is necessarily a CC issue, but maybe a teacher/method/kid issue.[/quote]
