[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What I'm saying is there should be some of both. It's great that they are doing making tens strategies and if that helps them to understand multiplying polynomials later that's important. But the practice component is also beneficial. Someone who understands multiplying polynomials but makes mistakes 25% of the time is going to run into trouble. Doing a page of math problems is both another way learning about arithmetic and practices the meticulousness that will be needed later. It's just the pendulum has swung too far in the other direction. Math is all about understanding but don't forget how much muscle memory and experience is at play. [/quote] The simple solution is to give your child a page of math problems at home for practice. [/quote]
