[quote=Anonymous]The kids (at least mine) are taught the old ways too--but the difference is they understand why they work. "Carry the 1" isn't mathematical understanding unless you understand that you are adding the ones and adding them to the tens. If your child never learned them, you can absolutely teach a procedure if you think it will improve their mental math skills. --math teacher[/quote]
