[quote=Anonymous]New math is odd. What my son struggled with is that they taught them four ways an then would have homework that would say which way they had to do it. One of the ways he thought was not intuitive, so I just told him he could figure it out whatever way he wanted, but he had to show the work the way the directions said. I figured following directions, even if they are silly is a good life lesson (we do discuss this rule dnds if following the directions leads to harm) I have taught him how to do things ahead if when the class learns, but only when he asks and only if he understands that he has to follow the directions.[/quote]
