Do they actually do the one on the left?

Occasionally, but the one on the right isn't exactly abandoned to teach only the one on the left. They also picked an incredible loaded example problem. Like most mathematicians and physicists or whatever math heavy discipline one has, how you go about solving a problem lends itself to an awful lot of shortcuts if you're comfortable with it

Change the 24 to a 136, and all of a sudden the jumps on the number line are much more manageable than the 3 lines of regrouping you have to do on the righthand example.

136 --> 125 and 10 and 1

225 - 125 - 10 - 1 = 100 - 10 - 1, so count back 1 from 90 and you have 89.

Besides, ~Traditional Math~ is like 99% how to give change back when someone buys something, while common core is for analytics, pattern finding, etc.

When I do mental math, I do something pretty similar, and I was taught math long before common core was a thing. Seems overly complicated for working something out on paper though.

Most “common core” rants are angry responses to mental math techniques being written out on paper, which is frequent for common core compliant courses.

most Americans cannot so mental math and those same americans can’t piece together what is going on there.

actually counting change is a very “common core-esque” trick of counting up from what’s owed, to the total amount of cash handed over. written on paper it would meet equal ire.

traditional math is just good and common techniques that lend themselves to access to paper and pencil.

This checks out: You're relying on a doctor's authority as a professional to give you the best treatment and not trying to milk you with excessive testing and medicine made by a company that basically sponsors them. An insurance carrier will be honest with you and tell you to die in a gutter.
