[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When my son was in 2nd grade last year, he got 1/2 credit taken off of one test question because the teacher didn't believe his strategy was an effective way to solve this problem. It was something like 22+17= ? He wrote 39 which is the correct answer. He wrote that he added the ones column first and got 9 and then added the tens column and got 3 which is 39. His teacher said he needed to use the strategy of rounding (22 down to 20 and 17 up to 20, etc). Nowhere in the problem did it say you had to round. Very frustrating for him and me to be told that he got the answer correct but the way he got it was "wrong." [/quote] Yes, this is the Fuzzy Math of the Common Core! It's TOTAL disaster for a lot of kids. Kids are hating school, begging not to go, saying they are dumb. I'm hearing it from friends all around me.[/quote] Where do you live?[/quote]
