I've never heard a good argument about academics that began with complaints about rote memorization.

Probably the best thing that's going to come out of CC is getting to listen to all the fucktard halfwits complain for the next decade because they can't comprehend what's essentially just an externalization of the process any 2nd grader uses in their head to solve basic arithmetic. The right is going to be up in arms.

Like with most things, it's probably going to be the poor children who suffer when their parents can't help them with their basic math problems because what the gently caress is this.

I majored in mathematics and ended up taking a physics course that I only attented the tests for. I didn't know the formulas that we were supposed to memorize, but the test had graphs on it showing what was going on in the problems, so I used calculus to solve them. I failed the test because I didn't write down the formula I used :I

thats cool bro you're so special and unique. don't have to do all that lovely "busy work" like "attend class" that everyone else has to do cause you're so smart and cool.

the only ppl complaining are the stupid parents actually

uneducated parents not being able to help their statistically worse-off kids with basic math skills is good because

by the way it's all algorithms this is just a different one.

Hidden Partner: number pairs that make a given sum (Example: in the number 5, 2 and 3 are hidden partners)

Number Bond: visual way to break apart a number into part, part, whole


Cube stick: ?Squares in a row?

when i was in elementary school and they introduced fractions i had a hard time remembering if the numerator was on top or bottom.

That Milgram guy was saying that the common core standard for college readiness was passing Algebra II, and that he had to fight for them to change it from Algebra I. And that is bad.
