i heard that common core style is used to teach kids to make the concepts behind the maths are understood by kids. Does anyone have any experience with it?. But I think agree with the article on the idea that what you think about your abilities changes you.
- amboo7 8y agoI taught my daughter, when she was 4, to multiply m*n by drawing m parallel lines intersecting n parallel lines, then counting the intersections as the result. Etc., as I am a nerd, we discussed fun problems from time to time. Seven years later she won a trophy at the national level.
- fatnoah 8y agoI have a 10 year old who attended private school. I'm not sure if they used Common Core or not, but they definitely used an approach designed to instill an understanding of concepts vs. the rote arithmetic drilling I did as a kid. I was skeptical at first, but mostly because the school did a poor job explaining the methods to parents, which left me to Google the methods so I could help my son when he had questions. That said, he does have a great understanding of numbers and is able to do a substantial amount of math in his head using this understanding. (e.g. 99+99+99 is just 300-3). It's essentially what I do in my own head, though with slightly different methods.
