I understand the goal of common core is to encourage critical thinking. I don’t understand how this can encourage that?
“Explain how the number sentence shows the problem?” What does that mean?

“I understand the goal of common core is to encourage critical thinking.”

Whatever gave you that idea?

The last thing they want kids to learn is critical thinking.

Common core is about indoctrination and dumbing down.

Critical thinking doesn’t belong in the grammar stage. It’s a dialectic skill.
