cyberbully Posted July 12, 2018 Posted July 12, 2018 I would respond that you are a moron looking for an excuse as to why your life hasn't changed in the last 40 years.
stilgar Posted July 12, 2018 Posted July 12, 2018 For fucks sake, it's like we have an old, extra retarded westpark who loves to take hobo dick deep into his throat. 1
SwimModSponges Posted July 12, 2018 Posted July 12, 2018 Common core is easy af because it's closer to the way the human brain actually thinks about numbers. 5,327+860=6,187 because... well, we added every single 1 together and thats what came out. Vs. 5,300+850+30-3+10 Got a chunk of about 5300, got a chunk of about 850. Stick the chunks together. Ok, now we've got a chunk of about 30, and a chunk of 10. Stick them all in the mix. All right, so getting more specific, that chunk of about 30 was three short, so lets take that away. Wham, answer right there. 1

SwimModSponges Posted July 12, 2018 Posted July 12, 2018 Well because when everybody started shouting about how common core was a socialist conspiracy created by the Obama administration, i actually looked at what it entailed, read studies on how and why it worked, and began integrating it into every day life. As someone who failed algebra 3 times, the fact that i can now do things almost instantly in my head that would have taken a few minutes to write out with the old style mathematics, well i really wish i had this back then. 3

You're right, that is closer to how the brain actually works. I just did it that way because it was easier.

Common core is basically how I've been doing math in my head all along. It's much more intuitive when you actually take the time to look at it.

I came to this thread to troll.... and I was enlightened instead. Nicely done, Sponges. 2
cyberbully Posted July 12, 2018 Posted July 12, 2018 People are bad at math because of how they are taught it.....It's taught in terrible pieces when basic math can be taught in a much larger an simpler blanket. Once my kids knew how to add the first 10 numbers, I taught them how to multiply.....Adding large numbers 1 by 1 is stupid. And I start with 9. 1
Vamped Posted July 13, 2018 Posted July 13, 2018 My eyes just glaze over as soon as I see anything math related
