[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For simple operations, it's pretty inane to ask kids to show or explain their work. The time spent demanding that in K-3 would be better spent with drilling basic math facts. [/quote] +1,000,000 (and will not show my work for how I came up with that number!)[/quote] Completely agree. I'm an aerospace engineer, and I hated elementary school math because of teachers turning it into writing class. Helping my 2nd and 4th graders now with math is bringing it all back to me. I can't wait until they are in algebra and there are actually some reasonable steps to show, rather than turning math into a creative writing class. [/quote]
