this article is making the rounds and kind of pissing me off: The standards for elementary math emphasize that kids should not only be able to solve arithmetic problems using the tried-and-true methods their parents learned, but understand how numbers relate to each other. um, how is this a bad thing? this is EXACTLY what students need to learn. a bunch of my hs kids cant do ANYTHING with fractions because they only learned a bunch of rules, they got them all jumbled together, and now they dont even understand what fractions are. common core and multiple representations ftw.
