[quote=Anonymous][quote]Mastering triangular math facts (i.e. knowing all the math facts from 1-10 or 12 in all four operations, addition, subtraction, mulitplication and division) and understanding that they are related (e.g. 10-7 = 3 and 3+7=10) has long been the main work of third grade math.[/quote] What is so frustrating is that the example that you showed 10-7=3 and 3+7=10, is something that they did 1000 times in first grade and then another 1000 times in 2nd grade. My daughter enjoyed it the first week but they repeat what they do so much she just thinks math is boring now. I'm so sad to hear that next year she will have to do the sam damn thing again in 3rd grade. The amount of repetition in 2.0 is very inappropriate. They aren't educating our kids. Its just free childcare. [/quote]
