[quote=Anonymous]A lot of the curricula that came out common core compliant early on were crappy ones that were already outsourcing their creation overseas to asia.  It has taken awhile for the better math curriculas to come out with common core versions.

My kids' school had everyday math and I really did NOT like it.  It was not good for my ods.  I ordered Beast Academy (which is a new curricula (common core compliant) and we use that at home.  They have come out with 3rd, 4th and part of 5th grade so far.   It is graphic novel style and really quite good.  My kids love it.

We were doing math in the car the other day and I asked my first grader to do 9 + 6.  He said 15 and I asked him how he did it, thinking that he did 9+1+5 or 6+4+5.  But no.  Instead he said 6 is 2 times 3 and 9 is 3 times 3 so if you take 5 3s you get 15.  He is in LOOOVEEEE with multiplication right now so it is not surprising he found a way to make it a multiplication problem.

Reminds me of the expression, when all you have is a hammer, everything becomes a nail.  lol. [/quote]
