[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]it is so mechanical. just reading of the correct digit of a number and compare. [/quote]

So it's not a real word problem because it doesn't have much of a plot?[/quote]

Certainly not as challenging.[/quote]

So, the problem is that it is not challenging enough or that it is not real world problems?

I think the questions on those tests were pretty challenging for that age group.  I bet a lot of adults would get some of the answers wrong.

As to not being real world, seriously?  How is 432 x 52 laid out on a test real world?  Like I said, real world challenges don't have the math problem laid out for you in a number sentence.  You have to figure out the sentence from the word problem.   And not everything on a math test that has word problems have to apply to the "real world".  My real world doesn't consist of living on a farm but I'm sure I had math word problems that dealt with a farmer and some farm animals or crops.[/quote]
