And that part about using his brain is actually a confession that he’s a conservative and is in fact equivalent to a threat to commit domestic terrorism! Using your brain, indeed! You didn’t solve that!
He saw 17 blue cars and 25 green cars.
How many cars did he see?
Obviously it would depend on how many yellow cars and red cars saw?
The funniest part was that the student told them, in not so many words, that the shortest route to a solution was a straight line rather than the convolutions and evolutions that Common Core expects.
Typically, it is all about procedure, not results.
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?
It makes my day that kids have to defend themselves against the federal government?
That’s supposed to make my day?
The kid should have taken the opportunity to screw with the teachers head by giving the answer of “17, because with the carbon offsets, it’s as if the GREEN cars don’t even exist”.
Let the silly lib say that’s not so!
I talked to my brain, and it told me it hurts.
So a “number sentence” is what they call an equation these days?
“Explain how the number sentence shows the problem.”
What’s to explain? It’s an equation. Suppose that *is* the problem.
I wonder if a sentence diagram [of the equation] would help to fry the common core circuits.
If you look closely you will find a clear violation of diversity standards in this math problem. Actually there are two;first of all,the name Mike instead of the approved Miguel. And second,the assumption that only a boy could be associated with trucks. Clearly common core will have to step it up.
[How many cars did he see?]
It depends on the definition of the word see as demonstrated by none other than Slick Willie.
This new math is probably suggestive of George Sorros who wants to destroy America. The kid has talent on loan from God and that is a good thing.
The boy will probably be referred to the school psychologist and his parent’s guns taken away because he hears voices in his head that give him math answers!
Typical Common Core illogical question. The fact that Mike saw 17 blue and 25 green cars give no information on the total number of cars he saw - just those of those colors.
Common Core is an attempt to outright kill education altogether. It seeks to actually break a child’s ability to think straight. It’s one of the most evil creations in the history of the human race, and every single person behind it should be jailed without parole for life, for crimes against humanity It is an absolute outrage, and a mind rape of every student it touches.
2. Can you add words together to come up with a sum?
Does the Toy Store provide their employees with a health plan that provides contraceptives and abortion services? What type cars were included? Were there global warming causing SUVs? Were there any government subsidized electric cars? There is just not enough information to solve the problem.
“I do what the voices in my head tell me to.”
“on my computer calculator I punched the 1 and 7 keys and then the + key and then the 2 and 5 keys what came up was 17+25=42 “
This problem by, its last requirement, puts the attention on the composer of the problem, and not the problem. What a bunch of narcissistic self absorbed nincompoops.
Just like Hollywood making movie after movie with attention given to moviemakers themselves and older artists with themes about growing old instead of writing about things the readers want to read.
The poor students are left scratching their heads wondering why the teacher wants an evaluation of their problem presentation.
I’ll givum an evaluation!
I’m guessing a number sentence is an equation and what the problem is really asking the student to do is write 17+25=__
Formulating math equations from word problems is an essential skill, but in my opinion, a bit abstract for second graders.
