There is no magic cure New math is hard to understand. The Liberal ciriculum forced new math on our children. What was wrong with the old math other then a career educator like Wynne wanted to leave their mark on society. Well they did.

You said Wynne made up some new math you are talking about common core which has been around for a long time. Matter of fact when WE all complain that the cashier can't do change in their head, this is NEW MATH which some of us have been doing for decades will help with that - you still need to know basic adding and subtracting skill good example I would do this in my head this way 20 x 36 = 720 4 v 36 = 144 = 864 Understanding place holders will help people in the end, you should be able to solve something other than base10 98 x 3 3 v 100 = 300 3 x (-2 )= -6 = 294 maybe more coders will come of this understanding why FF = 256 Yes most parents can't do change in their head just like kids Edited July 19, 2018 by 1trailmaker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will he back off his divisive and increasingly unpopular carbon tax? Or will he make fighting the provinces to force through a carbon tax his election issue for 2019? how exciting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1trailmaker Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 I would do it this way 27 + 3 = 30 30 + 20 = 50 50 + 4 = 54 answer 27 seems simple to me - the reason people can't do math in their head is due to the CARRY PROCESS without pencil and paper they can't preform the learned algorithm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I stop for lunch at Harvey's, place my order with the young girl at the counter. She says "That will be $13.52" I hand her $13.50. She says "But sir, the amount is $13.52." And she holds out her hand. I say " But its going to round back." She looks at me confused with her hand still out. Geeesus. I hand her a dime. She punches in $13.60 and puts the money away in the till then checks the screen to see what she needs to give for change, she fishes out the dime from the till and hands it back to me. All smiles. A couple of weeks ago, the cashier at the LCBO refused to take my $100 bill because he said he'd never seen a paper one before and wasn't sure if it was legal currency.

1trailmaker Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 lots of protesting at FORD for sex ed - way bigger and whiter than against it It was more detailed than the one it replaced, which is a key reason it was six times as long. It was full of sample questions and answers, so teachers — very few of whom likely got into the business because they were eager to go on about penises to six year olds — would be better equipped to deal with students’ inquiries. It was blunt but clinical. It didn’t teach young children how to consent to sex. It introduced early the importance of respecting boundaries other people set, in numerous ways. It laid groundwork for understanding that no means no when it comes to sex by talking about consent in terms of schoolyard play and bullying behaviour. It didn’t tell kids to question their own gender identities. It told them that some people in their world do and you can’t make fun of them. Or anybody, in fact, for who they or their parents are. It didn’t tell them that anal sex is delightful and here’s how you do it, it told them that you can catch diseases from it. NO MATTER HOW MUCH MOMO LIKES IT It didn’t urge them to override their own discomforts by “making a sexual plan and sticking to it,” it told them to consider limits when they’re thinking clearly.
