Why is common core math better?

@SarahAndSamantha IT doesn't teach the easier techniques. Well they still do, but they frown on them and gloss over them.

The results after years have spoken as well. Students are even worse than when Common core was implemented . Scores have been going down.

We were taught exactly what was going on what the numbers were doing while being taught standard algorithm.

@MethDozer Don't get me wrong, I think a balance between the two would be ideal. Teach the memorization and the easy way, but also teach the 'why'. If I had been taught the why instead of just left to figure it out, I would've learned it a lot quicker.

@SarahAndSamantha It isn't like standard algorithm is about memorization. The only wrote learning involved math was the times table with was taught a long with the proper standard algorithm for multiplication.


From.my understanding from.talking to teachers and educators the whole e point of common core math was to try and teach it to the bottom 2% of students who couldn't grasp the basic concepts. At the cost of the kids with pliable minds. It was about try to teach that one dummy we had in class who couldn't grasp anything.

@ChipmunkErnie And cut out the parents from educating their children

@MethDozer LOL, ya mean cutting the parents out of the loop

All three of mine were the same! I honestly felt sorry for them. I was too confused on how teach them to show the work I’d write notes to school all the time making sure they still got credit for their homework because we tried! The outcome was always right. @Snowvixen

@LittleBittyPretty1 that's awesome! Math has never been my strongest subject so when I tried there way I got more confused and said the hell with it.. I'm doing it this way 🤣

@MethDozer Try to get your education expenditures back. I am trying to be polite. There is no real value in debating you. I really am not fond of your attitude or aptitude. Please, go try to impress someone else. It’s just not working on my end:)

@Oster1 Translation :


I got nothing to back the BS up.

Bu bye:)@MethDozer

Very true and most honest statistics have come to the same conclusion:)@IstillmissEP

I could not agree more:)@JimminyChristmas

I’m not sure on this specific clip but they do start it in early elementary school. @TheOneyouwerewarnedabout

Agreed@MethDozer

And.. if the argument is on teaching them techniques or to explain why you get the outcome when say multiplying they’re still missing the mark. Listen to how she explains zeros lol. @MethDozer @LittleBittyPretty1
