That is factually incorrect. A lot of the Common Core math standards are based on Singapore Math.

Maybe they adopted the standards, but not the curriculum. When I compare SM textbooks we use at home with CC worksheets DD brings from school, it's a night and day difference.  SM is very clear, easy to understand and consistent.  CC is a mess.

Here is another problem DD brought. All of them are a way to take apart 7 except for 8-7. But they expect one right answer.  The person who wrote this curriculum should be fired.
Math requires precise and clear language.[/quote]

Singapore Math is a curriculum. The Common Core standards are not a curriculum. There is no Common Core curriculum, and there are no Common Core worksheets. There are many different curricula that are aligned to the Common Core standards. Some of these curricula are good. Some of these curricula are bad.

(If I had a nickel for every time I have typed this, I'd have a lot of nickels.)

I don't know which of these curricula your daughter's school uses. Do you know?
