It's funny because you think memorizing your bullshit carry algorithm matters more than being able to estimate in the age of computers and calculators.

Hey guys, just a Ph.D. mathematician putting out a pretty good article by another Ph.D. mathematician:

http://math.berkeley.edu/~frenkel/Frenkel-Wu-WSJ.pdf

Also, kudos to the first person to explain to me exactly why your algorithm to multiply two numbers actually works (especially the part about putting in extra zeros).

kids now have to learn to solve problems as though they were literally retards who cant do basic addition and subtraction in their heads

i can see what they're trying to do but it doesn't seem like it's any easier than the normal way and i'm dubious of the idea that it gets kids to understand the concept better. it's a good way to add two or three digit numbers together in your head but it doesn't work at all for numbers bigger than that.

plus if they're not even teaching the old way and are punishing kids for using it then what the gently caress? are you OK with the idea of kids not being able to add two random numbers without a calculator?

common core is a curriculum developed by teachers using additional methods that supplement (not replace) the method we all learned in school in order to illustrate actual understanding of mathematics rather than simply memorizing algorithms and tricks to solve simple problems

in other words eat poo poo op

You know Common Core is bad when teachers--whose intelligence is limited to reality TV, Disney, breeding, and football--can realize it's bullshit.

This a million times. I am sure you all understand exactly why you carry and borrow right?

At least our kids will.

I like how the same political groups bashing common core are the same ones who have been eviscerating education in favor of massive defense spending for decades.
