This happened to a kid at work. He sat there for a second, sighed and whispered “damn”

[kkludgy]

Is this new math? I’m so confused

[manzanas]

This is why we have “new math” aka cc. So kids don’t grow up getting stuck when there’s an equation they have difficulty with and they have strategies to help them mentally compute. I once saw a student do an entire page of subtracting from teens like this (I was not the teacher) and it’s honestly sad when parents “teach” their child the standard algorithm before they have a solid conceptual understanding of subtraction because the standard algorithm doesn’t always help!

I stan for common core math and the standards for mathematical practice. So sue me.

[surprisebitch]

im just curious.. how would this problem be solved with “new math” ? what is the process like?

[pink-goblin]

One way it’s solved with “"new math”“ is that kds at a young age are being taught their “doubles” so they should have memorized what 1+1, 2+2, 3+3, etc. all the way up to 10+10 is. That alone should be enough for them to know that 18-9=9 because part of knowing your doubles is also knowing that taking one away from the sum leaves you with the same number.

The OTHER method is basically like distribution. Consider that 18-9 can be shifted into an easier problem by just using blocking.

18-10 is an easier problem, right? the answer is clearly 8. but 10 is taking one too many away from 18, so you need to put one back. 18-9 is then 9.

[surprisebitch]

wow thats definitely different from how i learned it growing up.. the other method is kinda similar to how i learned it but the interpretation is different

cause the way i learned it, once you do a problem where a digit goes 8-9 then you reset to 10 when you hit 0 then you subtract further

so 8-9 becomes 8-8 = 0 then that becomes 10 then you subtract another which becomes 10 - 1 = 9

so for lets say 17 - 9

you start from the right, you get 7 - 9 which becomes 7 - 7 = 0 then you subtract 2 more from 10 to get 8 then since you’ve regrouped previously, you remove 1 from the next so yeah you end up with 0 and an 8

[atlothebuffalo]

Also subtraction and addition are opposites of each other (so is multiplication and division). I work with grade school kids and I give them this as an alternative in case they don’t understand the initial way that is taught at school. So if you “flip” the equation, and change the minus sign to a plus sign, you end up with _+9=18. Then all you’ll have to do is either count from 9 till you get to 18 or remember your doubles (which for some kids, the visual reminder jogs their memory)

Ok so... Doctor Who has again "blown my mind" with last night's episode (which I've just seen on amazon) I was wondering what they were going to do with the Alt Doctor and how she fit into everything.

You’re able to call your parents “Mom” and “Dad”. They were not born with those names.

You’re able to call your teachers “Mr” or “Mrs” and their last name. You’d get in trouble if you addressed them by first name.

You’re able to call a celebrity by their chosen stage name.

You’re able to call your friends a shortened version of their name, their middle name instead of their first, or a completely random nickname.

You’re able to call a married woman by her husband’s last name, even though she was not born with that last name.

But when someone’s transgender, how does calling them by a name they were not born with somehow become a hassle?
