ARE YOU KIDDING ME????!!!!! What the HELL does this mean???
What on GOD’S green earth does this mean??? Who in the heck could
EVER figure this crap out???
My son-in-law is a bonafide quantum physicist and sneezes math equations in his sleep.
His reactions was after looking at it carefully was, "What the hell is this?"
My daughters had that crap. Math facts were not allowed - illegal in that a teacher would get in “trouble” for teaching them. So my wife and another gal went in everyday and sat in the hall doing flash cards with all of the kids. Luckily the Principal let them do it.
My one daughter had trouble with the new way - as did I! So I had to figure it out to try to help her. We gave up as she could answer them correctly on the homework and tests - even though she got marked down for doing it the “wrong” way. A good lesson to teach a fourth grader - some times the people in authority are idiots.
Her identical twin sister took to the new way quickly!? Thank goodness they both still know their math facts though. Helping them with high school homework I can’t imagine if they didn’t know their adding, subtracting, and multiplication in their head. Like finding the common denominators, common square roots, etc.
