[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Last one, now that I have learned to post pictures. These are all from the MD state released items/practice test 3rd grade Math test:

I think it is tricky, for a third grader.  Yes, of course, I think it would be wonderful for all third graders to be able to answer a question like this that shows they are truly able to understand the application of math. Instead of just asking a simple question: "What is the area of this rectangle?"

But - the fact that many students aren't able to answer questions like this doesn't mean they are learning nothing in math. Just that these questions are pretty tricky for them to understand.[/quote]

I think it's important to point out that a lot of these word problems were made because of allegations from marxists that math is somehow racist against black people - that they can't understand abstract concepts (which is in itself an extremely racist viewpoint but one pushed by many black civil rights advocates). But of course they will understand things like "tyrone has five mixtapes and lost two" or "uncle jim is painting a garage." It is, however, ironic that the black kids in baltimore schools cannot even answer the contextualized questions that the education marxists have forced into the curriculum[/quote]

Dude, you need to brush up on your Marxism before you open your mouth. Karl Marx did not give a crap about math - or its influence on black people. Geez.[/quote]

No, "dude," YOU need to brush up. Critical theory, which has spawned ideas like intersectionality and other racial justice theories, originates to a large extent in marxist thought.  I said marxist because people like you have no idea what critical social theory is[/quote]

And you clearly don't understand it at all.[/quote]
