Why don't just do [20]+12 = 32
Christopher Martinez
I... don't even understand how the "new way" works. It seems like some overly complicated bullshit to explain a very simple thing. You know, like Bertrand Russel wasting decades of his life to "prove" that 1 + 1 = 2.
Jose Martinez
That is so fucking retarded
Jose Young
For reference, that pic is in reference to something from the 1960s. After Russia launched Sputnik, Americans became convinced that the reason they were behind Russia in rocket science was that math was taught improperly, so they invented a new type of math cleverly named "new math," which was base 8 and completely insane. They ended new math like a year later.

What the actual fuck are you talking about?
Andrew Cook
what the actual fuck is this lmao, where are these numbers even coming from
Luis Reyes
this
wtf is this shit

>he can't do simple calculations in his head
For literally 99.9999% of calculations involving only operators you don't need a system, it should take you 2 seconds MAX to do any calculation.
If you have logarithms, equation systems, complex functions, i'll give you 1-2 minutes, still no calculator or ''method'' needed to solve them.
When you start with combinatorics, sure, use some sort of algorithm
Noah Morris
it's calculating the difference between 12 and 32 by adding numbers to 12 until it's 32
the sum of the numbers added is the difference between 12 and 32
Joseph Scott
how much you need to add up to get from 12 to 32 is the answer to ( 32 - 12 )

You were on /co/, weren't you?

The stupidity of my fellow Americans never ceases to amaze, stun, and horrify no matter the age.
Liam Cruz
Ok imagine you are a cashier, somebody buys for 12$ and gives you 30$
If you wanna calcuate quickly, you will give him 3$ in coins first, then 5$ bill, then 10$ bill
It makes perfectly sense for the kind of calculations an average American will have to do in his life.
Caleb Cruz
Kek always made me wanna die when math teacher said "Now i'm going to show you a special way to solve this."
Juan Moore
This.
Actual cashier here, we do the same.

>proof that 1+1=2 was a waste of time

dumb americans
Andrew Nelson
It's actually pretty good for mental math, and no, it's not the only way. Although it's pretty ridiculous to make kids show their work at all, unless it's multiple choice, they've got it when they've got it.
Mason King
Gauss founded an entire form of arithmetic based on a similar premise, modular arth. - idea is that you you use any base like a clock to calculate unwieldy sums
Carter Wilson
>This is "American" way
FUCK YEAH
Ayden Hughes
Burgers are a funny bunch
John Harris
If we were talking about number theory and modular arithmet. I could take you seriously, but without notation I declare you as retards.
Blake Peterson
Which thread?

>check SAT Math
>literally elementary school tier questions
well im not surprised at all
Colton Smith
Thoughts?
Logan Scott
>>check SAT Math
Instantly giving away your LARP because you have to pay to get access to the practice tests
Anthony Williams
there are SAT examples on internet
Eli Morgan
Josiah Cook
Nolan Parker
No there aren't.
There are questions which try to emulate it. And most of them are meant to be easy. The average student is only meant to have trouble with the hard questions.
Nice LARP though

ok i checked ekşi (turkish reddit) for SAT in case that you are right and these were thoughts on maths:
>they point that you can use calculator for math test but my advice is to not use. because it's waste of time
>any successful turkish studen can easily (and i'm saying this as an math-retarded )
>it was pretty hard test except maths
>any turk can easily get 800 points on maths
>math is pretty easy you only have to focus
>in maths mostly they ask questions that can be solved with (only skills of) interpretation and logic
>we have more advantages against americans because our math and science(physics/chemisty/biology) education is harder
literally everyone says that its easy

Funny, huh?

Explains it

Why that thing studies?

why do you need to teach all this stuff, people learn this on their own while interacting with the outside world.
Jonathan Thomas
As I remember he was accused in gangbanging of underaged. They filmed it and probably aired it in live. But judge has decided that he was only accomplice and didn't rape anyone, so he need to pass the final school test, which he didn't pass in apropriate age, and he will be free.
Something like this, I can miss something since I'm not really familiar with American reality.
Matthew Perez
no, they don't
Lincoln Phillips
>and he will be free.
OH say can you see?
Joseph Collins
>He didn't learn American math in school

Neither did I. What is this horse shit?
Grayson Taylor
I know you mutts are dumb, no need to prove it.
Benjamin Sanchez
new math is what you learned in school dipshit.
It ALLOWS for base 8. remember the carry system for subtraction? that's new math. Your grandparents learned math a different way.
Caleb Smith
Alright cool solve this one for me. If Turk + house = call exterminator, what does Turk + borax equal?
Juan Lewis
>get called on lie
>provided example
>turns to memes and ad hominem as last help
Seriously learn when to ghost thread to save face.
Eli Flores
I think i know the answer
Kayden Davis
not the same guy. I handle infestations
Cooper Mitchell
Your brains are so weak that you can't calculate 20-12 without 3 and 5 addition... That's sad!
Oliver Russell
Hudson Myers
Interesting, why if Americans are bad at math, the prices in Land of Freedom are still posting without VAT? This is not contrary Bill of rights?
Elijah Kelly
why does base 8 is supposed to make you smarter ?
Aiden Green
There's some crazy reasoning about how base 8 is better and more logical than base 10, but I don't remember what it is.
John Hughes
you're thinking of base 12 and it's bc you can divide it by 1/2 1/3 1/4 and get whole numbers.
see
using different base numbers is a neat party trick new math is capable of.
