[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow - if that problem on the top of the paper is comon core - we are all in trouble - what the hell is that?[/quote]

The concept of the question doesn't bother me.  It's trying to get the kid to understand that subtracting 316 is the same as subtracting 300, then 10 and then 6.  It's trying to teach number sense.  Kids can learn to grind through algorithms w/o really understanding what they're doing.  This problem clearly shows that the kid forgot to subtract at the 10s place.  Doesn't surprise me that an engineer is complaining; all they want is their formulas to crunch.[/quote]

yes - agree 100%

How many of us simply learned "how to" without understanding the process behind it?

It's really pathetic to read about "educated" parents with no number sense.

And yes, they are STANDARDS. The standards are then turned into instructional frameworks. The frameworks are umbrellas for the curriculum guides, which vary from state to state and from county to county.

20:09, you're an idiot.[/quote]

I dunno.  I learned to subtract numbers the "normal way" and really, just knowing how to subtract 137 - 93 has served me just fine. [/quote]
