[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Montessori children are all taught to understand what concretely is actually going on with multiplication. I see no problem with the way it was taught.[/quote] Yep, I was curious so asked my 2nd grader. He drew 8 groups of 3 ten blocks and said 240. He was in Montessori through K.[/quote] Montessori use beads to make blocks of 10s and 100s, and that really makes it easy for the kids to understand what is happening when they do arithmetic operations. In theory MCPS wants a deeper understanding of concepts for their kids, however - the way they are teaching it is is confusing and hindering the students. I can't understadn why they have to reinvent the wheel each time, why not just adopt the best practices and tools from systems that work>[/quote]
