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
No text either? Same with my daughter.
Really odd they have no books to take home, just a worksheet without examples, and some arcane method for solving problems that has to be used, is explained in class only, and it's suggested the kids ask teachers before consulting parents for help.
Glad I'm not the only one that's had this issue. Maybe it's not the aforementioned "bad teacher" and something else entirely.
CC, for example.
A number line? WTF is that and what does it have to do with solving 427 - 316 ?
Is this an example of the methodology used in CC?
yes.
