I thought 6=3+3
thanks for clearing that up
Really, she just Happened to pick 1+5 which works really well for that problem.
What if the kids picks 2+4 or 3+3? Or 5+1? THose kids would be in a tail spin if they put the numbers in the wrong order. They're in a world of hurt.
And even at that point, they have to have some math facts memorized to know all the possibilities and pick the right one to make a *complicated* problem like 9+6 work.
The idiots are basing their problem solving on prior knowledge and memorized facts and don't even seem to realize it.
