I've said this for a while. They go an extra step farther than I typically do, but they're trying to teach kids how to do it in their head. I used to see all the memes on FB about how ridiculous it was and the govt was ruing our kids (Which is their intention, to program a bunch of socialist robots), but this isn't one of those instances. Now that I have a third grader doing math, even at his private Catholic school they teach this method, and it works. It is taking the long way around in the beginning, but he won't have to teach himself how to do it in his head later, it is instilled early. Agree that it is madding to add 120 + 20 like that, just line up your ones column, draw a line and write the answer. Luckily they still teach that method as wellTBItoy said:That’s literally a graphical representation of how I would do it in my head (and most other people that can do long multiplication/division in their head), break it down to easy to handle numbers and add them up. Zeros are easy.
I don’t really see the problem with showing kids that as a way to do it. The idea is to show them a bunch of different ways to reach the same solution

This is all good, but most still can't make change unless they can see it on the cash register. Heaven forbid giving a kid a couple extra cents after the transaction has totaled up so you don't have a pocket full of pennies or ones.blacksheep10 said:I've said this for a while.

The issue I have with it is forcing kids to do every method. I agree completely that they should teach all the different methods, and have kids do homework with each. But then giving them a test and forcing them to do math in a way they don't understand if ridiculous, esp when they know the answer by solving a different way.blacksheep10 said:I've said this for a while.
