Didn't common core also state that a child solving 4x5 by computing 5x4 fails the task and in turn hindering deeper comprehension.
Or do I confuse this with something else?
- pclmulqdq 5y agoYou did not. Common core teaches some very weird methods of addition and multiplication, and has a "process over product" mentality - getting the wrong answer is fine with the right method, and getting the right answer with the "wrong" method is bad.
- threatofrain 5y agoDo you have any official sources? > Interpret a multiplication equation as a comparison, e.g., interpret 35 = 5 × 7 as a statement that 35 is 5 times as many as 7 and 7 times as many as 5. Represent verbal statements of multiplicative comparisons as multiplication equations. http://www.corestandards.org/Math/Content/4/OA/ http://www.corestandards.org/Math/Content/4/OA/
- threatofrain 5y agoThe Common Core specification is succinct and easily cited. Any particular grade in K-6 can be read in under 5 minutes. http://www.corestandards.org/Math/Content/4/OA/ http://www.corestandards.org/Math/Content/4/OA/
