[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote] So that kids who are able to use equations to represent their work are allowed to do so, and can demonstrate mastery without having to go back to drawing pictures. [/quote] And, they couldn't do that before? Gee. You'd think there was no teaching at all before Common Core. [/quote] Common Core is written to be a replacement for previous standards. Many many pieces of the Common Core appeared in previous standards. That's how standards work. For example, previous standards in almost every state called for Kindergarteners to learn to recognize numbers, for third graders to multiply single digit numbers, and for algebra students to solve for variables. Not surprisingly, the authors of Common Core also included those things in their standards. Not because there was "no teaching before Common Core" but because there were good things before Common Core that they wanted to see continue. [/quote]
