[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote] Why do you say that this is extremely difficult for first-graders? Singapore Math 1A has problems like 8 + ? = 10, as well as number bonds.[/quote] Lots of kids do not have the advantage of parents who sit down with them and do Singapore math. [/quote] But then does 8+ 2 = ? make it so much easier for such kids that they don't need their parents? Even before CC (or 2.0 here) there were a lot of kids that needed help with math but were not getting it. CC seeks to have kids think more critically and analytically (which 8 + ? = 10 does). People keep saying we shouldn't dumb down the curriculum, but if you say lots of kids don't have parents to help them with HW so let's not make it too hard, then your are dumbing it down.[/quote]
