[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So here is a worksheet from the Common Core workbook for first graders. I showed this to my husband, who can code in fractal mathematics, so he's no slouch. It took him about 10 minutes to figure out what the worksheet was asking and why.  I asked my 12 year old son to look at it. He could not figure out what was being asked of him.

 Dummy have you not  been reading about the fact that New York has added stuff that is not common core?
Since when do we read stuff on Twitter and take that as gospel???

Now tell me how you get the answer and whether or not this is appropriate for a six year old, which is the real question at hand.[/quote]
no -- THE REAL QUESTION is: Just because you saw it on Twitter makes it true?
        The real question is do you understand the difference between a standard and a curriculum?
        The real question is do you understand that because someone comes up with something that may be outside/in addition to/or claim to be aligned with the so-called standard does not mean that is the fault of the standard?
Some of you people are seriously not bright![/quote]
