[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I certainly remember the word problems that we had. The books were full of them and our teachers expected us to understand them. This was in a normal public school. Sorry yours didn't do that.[/quote] I highly doubt you remember your 4th grade math tests. Maybe if you're 20 you might remember, but I'm 44. I seriously doubt they had lots of word problems on math tests in 4th grade 35 years ago. The were all probably just equations laid out that had to be solved. 35 yrs ago math was learned pretty much by rote. That's part of the reason why so many adults suck at math today. http://www.nytimes.com/2014/08/04/your-money/americans-are-bad-at-math-but-its-not-too-late-to-fix.html?_r=0 http://www.nytimes.com/2014/07/27/magazine/why-do-americans-stink-at-math.html[/quote]
