[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sadly, my mcps kids will never learn math "the right way." Sigh. Pre-2.0 my kids learned a very odd (to me) method of multi-digit multiplicaction. All kinds of diagnal calculations. Drove me a bit crazy but it worked for her and she is in algebra now and mulitplies just fine. I don;t think there is a "right way"[/quote] My 3rd grader learned this (she called it the "lattice method") last month in 2.0.[/quote] Here's a little information about the lattice method (I'm not the PP): http://mathworld.wolfram.com/LatticeMethod.html I think it's interesting, particularly for math-minded kids. I am 100% certain that kids will also learn the standard algorithm. [/quote]
