I honestly want to know. My oldest was in grade school when it started. I’ve been through all three of my kids now and it’s still baffling to me.

@Snowvixen I went thru the same crap with my daughter. She ended up doing it my way, to the consternation of her teachers. To bad

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 🤣
