[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Back to the topic at hand... It's not Common Core that's the problem, it's incompetent textbook companies that are the problem. http://edexcellence.net/blog-types/common-core-watch[/quote] Excellent analysis. I appreciate this quote: [quote] Note, too, that the Singapore problems—typical of what I’ve seen in Singapore Math—are text-lite. The emphasis is on numbers, manipulating numbers, and problem solving. In too many other examples, including those shared by Louis C.K., the math drowns in a sea of confusing text. [b]In short: if you need that much text to explain why or how to use a mathematical model, you’re doing it wrong[/b].[/quote][/quote]
