Is this the common core Americans have been complaining about? I don't understand, teaching math this way seems perfectly reasonable. This is not confusing at all to me, and helps to conceptualise what is actually happening in the multiplication. is this a bad example of common core or something?
Or are you guys just too fat and lazy to add in a couple more lines of writing?
This example seems too basic, I don't think anyone could miss the conceptual basis of multiplication.

Nah, I just didn't get a response this morning. I'm legitimately interested as to what is wrong with common core.

Must be nice being able to call someone else names for once, you fucking leaf.

There's nothing inherently wrong with teaching math that way as long as the teacher understands why they are teaching math that way.
But a lot of times they don't. So they end up marking kids answers wrong when they get the correct answer but don't follow the specific algorithm that they are being taught to get there. When in truth there are often many ways to approach math problems and still get the right answer.
It's fine to teach it a certain way but it isn't right to punish a kid when his brain approaches it differently. In the end the important thing is them understanding the concepts and getting the right answer.
to put it another way, in a common core math class it's very likely that a teacher would have told a young Carl Gauss that he was wrong to solve the problem in pic related the way that he did

Thanks Satan.
