[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]These threads always drive home for me how much we need higher math standards, whether CC or otherwise. A generation of parents who, for the most part, barely understand math, and yet still want their kids to learn it just like they did.[/quote] Barely understand? I'm computer scientist. Do you know the level of math knowledge that requires? Do you know how I'm able to do it? Because I had a strong math foundation at school.[/quote] And I have a BSEE. But I don't remember how I learned math in K and 1st. I don't mind the way they do it now, as long as the kids are getting it. All of these strategies are tricks, to help you along, the same way learning that the digits of the 9s multiples sum to 9. They're intermediary math tricks for young children, to give them fluency and a firm, concrete grasp of numbers.[/quote]
