[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] 4th grade math, non-compacted. Very simple math problem. All the kids wanted to blurt out the answer (if the velociraptor is 6 feet long, and the stegosaurus is 5 times longer, how long is the stego?). The teacher had to stick to the curriculum and try to teach them how to think out the multiple unconscious steps to get the answer, using algebraic equations. I understand the desire to formalize and verbalize everything, but for my son, it's really just confusing what would otherwise have been a very organic, easy answer. He couldn't solve the rest of the sheet of problems by himself, because he was stuck on answering them the "correct" way, instead of just multiplying in his head. 2.0 math is driving me crazy. [/quote] Aren't they all supposed to be in the same place in 2.0 across all ESs? I sat through 4th grade, non-compacted math and they were doing subtraction of higher order numbers and then multistep word problems.[/quote]
