It looks like the students are supposed to be wrong and the totalitarian teacher is suppose to know everything.

Did you ever see the “Simpsons” episode where Lisa steals all the teacher’s books (with the answers) and the teachers were all petrified?

That is pretty much it in a nutshell.

That concept is taught to little kids at home...with pennies on the kitchen table. And it’s a concept that is quickly learned. Take the leap and teach them the multiplication tables instead of wasting time on the repetiveness of the concept.

You learn the multiplication tables from repetition.

This defeats repetition. JOB DONE!

Obama, the House, the Senate, the SCOTUS, Education, the FBI, our media, dumbing down for success...

It’s across the board...

The Ed Establishment/Liberals are systematically removing parents from their kids’ homework. Then, they remove them from their families. Then, they belong to the Liberal Establishment.

We’re luck to be as high as 28th in education achievement globally.

We’re preparing the finest basket weavers of tomorrow.

The creator of common core admitted it was made to destroy learning.

He said that “equalized” the smart kids (advantaged) with the stupid kids (disadvantaged).

Then Mr. Teacher, expand and solve this: 1,000,000 x 2.
You are NOT allowed to change the order of the factors.
It has to be 2+2+2+2+2......

As a retired Science teacher with 35 years in, Methinks this Common Core is pretty FKD up!

Kids don’t all earn the same way. Some learn by counting by fives. Some memorize the multiplication table. Other count on their fingers. Some add. Some see colors or it just pops into their heads. You do it your way and I’ll do it mine but as long as we come up with the right answer it’s all good. These cc teachers need to relax their sphincters.

If I understand the problem and the “correct” answer wouldn’t

(1+1+1 = 3) + (1+1+1 = 3) + (1+1+1 = 3) + (1+1+1 = 3) + (1+1+1 = 3) = 15 also be correct? There would be several other permutations as well but I’m not going to type them all out.

Why not just teach the kids to count on their fingers, toes or other anatomical structures? Maybe let them use other kids anatomy as well.

What ever happened to just memorizing the tables up to 12 like we all had to do, you know the people that did spaceflight, the internet, and the computer revolution?

The set of all groups grouped together is groupspeak gobbledygook. New math plus common core. Ahh, ain’t the new power packed pedagogy pretentiously pathetic?

What exactly is the philosophy? It seems that students are being taught that memorizing tables for arithmetic is wrong, and that we should prefer to draw the items then count them. I assume they are allowed to move their lips while they count if that will help.

I am teaching my children multiplication tables. You can get flash cards at Barnes and Noble among other places.

I am also teaching them history, art, music, literature, science, athletics, martial arts, self-discipline, the value of education, and MY religion, philosophy, and world view--i.e. I am teaching them the truth as well as I can know it.

The Leftists might succeed in destroying the world and forcing our children to live in a hell hole, but I will have my children as prepared for it as I possibly can. NOTHING is more important. I trust that you will do the same.

So 5x3=15 has a different answer than 3x5=15?

It’s been proven that a child’s brain development is harmed by not learning math at an early age. So why would we change the way it’s been taught for hundreds of years? Unless that is their plan.
