from the little I've been exposed to it "new" math is one of the most asinine things to come down the pike out of our education system.
don't know whether it's CC driven or not
but it's just plain stupid
and in my kid's instance no accompanying text was available to send home so I could follow along and try to figure out what they were teaching
tis why I said F it and taught him to do basic math the way I'd been taught
it's served me pretty well these last 50 years or so
personally I think it's part of the bureaucracy BS that goes on in PE these days. Some pointy headed azzholes get paid to get together and try and complicate something as simple as basic math.
geezus I'm glad my kids are about done with formal education.
I'm pretty certain when we sing our anthem and mention the land of the free, the original intent didn't mean cell phones, food stamps and birth control.
