What is the point in talking to the teacher if the language the curriculum is using is flat out wrong? There is no way the creators of Common Core would have agreed with the answer of this question, since many of the standards are clearly taken from Singapore Math.  I think the CC math standards are fantastic. The implementation at many schools is awful.  If you look at Singapore Math when they talk of composing/decomposing numbers - in other words - taking apart numbers they use number bonds.  6, 1, and 7 are number bonds - so three of the answers are correct. I think the publisher should have written which of these is NOT an example of taking apart 7 since there is only one incorrect answer.  Many teachers are really weak in math so asking questions doesn't matter.  [/quote]

Which language was flat-out wrong? Are you upset because the worksheet uses taking apart/putting together instead of composing/decomposing? It is true that 6, 1, and 7 are number bonds -- but the worksheet wasn't asking about number bonds.[/quote]
