Is that the reason? Or because they've been told to "do it the right way"?
- dorchadas 5y agoI'd argue it is the reason. I know parents who've had no problem helping their kids with the "right way/new math". But it's because the parents knew numbers, and realized that taking away 20 and adding 3 is the same as taking away 17. The number of teachers I've met who "know" it but don't truly grok it is way too high.
