Common Core doesn't outline any route. It is a list of standards. The route that is used to meet the standards, aka implementation, is not dictated by the standards.

I find it hard to believe that so many allegedly intelligent people fail to grasp this simple concept.

Common Core outlines specific "critical thinking" in math. Look at the earlier discussion on this thread. Look at some of the samples in the news. [/quote]

Thanks, but I don't need to read the news. I've read the standards. Also, I place no faith in the earlier discussions on this thread from anonymous posters who have not read the standards and/or don't understand the difference between a standard and it's implementation.

Just because a standard has a goal of "critical thinking" does not mean it outlines a specific route to achieving such critical goal nor a route to meeting that standard.

You really don't grasp the basic concept. You also, mysteriously, seem to think critical thinking is not a worthy goal in mathematical reasoning. This kind of ignorance is, frankly, mind boggling.[/quote]
