[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]2nd Grader is complaining about measurement topic that began at beginning of q3.  DC gets it, is bored of measuring and is not amused by measurement oriented word problems like, "what is the difference between the length of the square and the length of the rectangle?"  DC said  "Ugh, why can't we just do regular math?!"[/quote]

The word problems are not there to amuse your child.

And it's a good question. Does your child know the answer?[/quote]

PP with the 2nd Grader, here.  Someone was asking how slow the math is moving, and I was providing my child's perspective.  I was not necessarily endorsing DC's opinion, nor did I tell Snowflake that "you are too good for this math."  I told DC that measurement is an important real-life skill, gave her an example, and also said that repetition helps people learn, and she should do what the teacher requests.

But, since you asked, yes, DC measured the lengths correctly, wrote out the subtraction equation and provided the difference.  This particular unit is really not challenging for my DC.  [/quote]
