[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So wait, another huge communication error from MCPS?  Who would have thought...

I am still figuring out why my 1st grader has to pull numbers from a basic addition problem and show 700 ways to do it.  They wonder why parents think it is all nonsense.  there are ZERO workbooks, textbooks, or communication from the teachers.  So for me, this 2.0 sucks because I can't even explain to my 6yr old why she needs to do it this way.  UGH![/quote]

They don't want you trying to explain it to your child because so many parents contradict the (better) methods used at school. Haven't you seen the belligerent Facebook posts/memes about Common Core from idiot parents who don't understand all they learned in the 70s and 80s were algorithms?[/quote]

Not PP.  I was taught in the 70s/80s and I majored in math.  I bitch about CC because of the trash that's showing up in the MCPS HS courses as they roll out and I do it to support my daughter's teachers who have all told me they don't know why this is happening.  Yes, some not all of my son's ES teachers have been on board but they aren't seeing the consequences.  [b]I don't waist my time on Facebook [/b]but there is plenty to be concerned about in the MCPS math curriculum.[/quote]

OMG! You don't waist your time!!!![/quote]
