Is this the end result of not being able to collect rainwater?

How does this work?
What happened to the old method of just doing it mentally?

interdasting

probably stems from the fact they can't celebrate easter

>rearrange the problem: 12 + x = 32
>how much do you need to add to 12 to get to 15
>how much do you need to add to get from 15 to 20
>how much ... from 20 to 30
>how much ... from 30 to 32

Am I understanding this correctly? I don't get why they need to stop at 15 instead of going straight to 20, though.

common core sucks, so glad my state doesn't use it

>a very simple subtraction became four equations and a sum
So...this is the power of American progress...

What?

I think you do.

>I don't get why they need to stop at 15 instead of going straight to 20, though.
That would be too hard, they didn't memorized how much to add from {1..4} to get ten.

Our school is failing too so I wouldn't be so quick to point fingers

I used to do 32 - 12 = 32 - 2 - 10 when I was younger. Why do they make it so complex for a simple sum?

It's failing only if you're a retard.

I am not shitting you when I say that a bunch of liberals invented this because they were upset blacks were underperforming in schools so they actively try to sabotage whites and asians with this asinine garbage to "lower the achievement gap".

This is the way a cashier computes the change mentally when he's too lazy to digit the number in the cash register and it is more practical, faster and less error prone.
That being said the good old method still gives 10-0 when you have to do stuff on paper.
Burgers are just training their students to be Walmart cashiers while importing H1B from god knows where.

why not just have support or a particular class for people who struggle with it rather than dragging everyone else down

Because Americans are retarded

Because it would be acknowledging differences in intelligence to do so, so in the leftist mind it's better to create a new standard that shifts the average towards mediocrity.

Because NCLB

George W. Bush wasn't a leftist, Jow Forums.

>muh poooooooooooool
>the president has 100% power
*GLOM*

We should have listened to Tom, he tried to warn us

youtube.com/watch?v=W6OaYPVueW4

The NCLB act was signed by Bush. And I know it's Jow Forums when they manage to bring up "muh leftists" or "muh libruls" at the most irrelevant moments.

>the person signing the bill is 100% in power
*brap*

Afaik this was done in Germany in the 70s too but lastet one or two years and than they abandoned it. Afaik it should teach kids more "real" mathematics and help to think more abstract.

Seriously?

It shouldn't need to be broken down by anyone over the age of 7, but even if it did... say you were really high or drunk, and needed to know the answer.

Tens: 3-1=2
Ones: 2-2=0

>kraut reading comprehension
Seriously, how do you manage to blame a bill authored by republicans, passed by a senate that had a republican majority, signed by a republican president, on the "leftists"?

Nice meme. Our school is a disaster and each generation is dumber than the last. Even our national average iq is dropping.
Teenagers today are complete mongs.

>republican
>right wing
>right and left wing existing at all

In burgerland, we have this thing called disparate impact. TL;DR it'll be declared racist because such classes will be disproportionately black even if there isn't any racist intent behind the policy.

>muh RINOs
Anyone left of sharia law is an SJW, right, Jow Forums?

they do have this.
the problem with that is the kids who need extra help basically have shitty math and shitty reading class all day long, with no time for fuck off (fun) stuff like gym and art or whatever. all work and no play.

and then it becomes a problem when every kid in these classes is a nigger or spic with not only learning disabilities, but also serious behavior problems.

so liberals accuse schools of segregating not only "disabled" kids, but also on basis of race.

schools have to tread a very very careful line with this stuff.

american education system is a sinking ship, and i honestly don't think that trump has the ability to fix it. but neither would any liberal candidate.

You should be able to solve this.

Yeah enjoy your rat race left vs right meme

When I was young, I went to a school in ZEP, I was the only white in my class. This year I was accepted to Mines Paris. People are dumber because there is more niggers, not because of the school system.

I mean as a kid. I'm only 19, I'm not a boomer

so you know those bac obtainance rates are bullshit and standards have been gradually lowered to hide how hopeless the new generations are

>with no time for fuck off (fun) stuff like gym and art or whatever. all work and no play.
Will help get used to what work is like.

If it gets the same result what's the problem? I do the same in my head when I'm doing math with not simple numbers

Yes. Basic primary school, middle school and highschool are bullshit. The bac has become such bullshit even having the "very good" mention is trivial.
The thing is, if you're good enough and your teachers aren't trash, you're going to learn way further than the programm and you'll be alright for decent higher education.

Literally just count on your fingers

that's a lot of "if"
and parenting is crucial as well

>I am not shitting you
I don't believe in Jow Forums conspiracies

C

you will get fewer points on a test with a correct answer than the "correct" method in most math classes. Did you even go to public school?

Those if applies to every education system though

I thought common core was to make the entire national school system have the same curriculum...

Yes I did. The point is to prepare students to do math with numbers like 174 + 369 which is much more error prone

not many like ours get worse as time goes by
it lacks discpline, like our parenting
1968 broke the citisen-making machine

im a fucking AP student with A/B average and yet i can't grasp pic related

it's taking the amount that's being subtracted (12) and adding numbers to it to make them whole numbers until finally you get to the original number (32). the numbers you used to arrive at 32 should add to 20 if done correctly. it's an extremely arbitrary and retarded system.

Parenting in France is failing hard, that's the true problem

US problem is that they have way too many niggos in their schools and they put them in classes together with normal kids. They cant let them fail because that would be rasist, so they create these elaborate ways of explaining simple problems to complete retards. The problem is that anybody who isnt retarded in the beginning will be once he goes through this education

see it's an idiotically structured way of turning subtraction into addition which can be done on one hand to essentially count the difference rather than calculate it

>which is much more error prone
Maybe if you’re a literal retard

>if it's different it's retarded

I was being sarcastic. I agree that the process doesn't matter with commutative processes such as multiplication, addition, and essentially subtraction (which is negative addition), so the methods taught should be for streamlining mental math rather than paper math. But any brainlet should be able to add those numbers

Thats what he was implying but you are too young to understand...

Did you make up common core just so that you could get more niggers in university sports teams?
Yeah.

They're trying to teach shortcuts to take when you solve math. Granted these are things you eventually figure out for yourself, but it's still interesting to see these shortcuts on paper.

because you already know how to do it another way and aren't 8, and because there's no teacher to explain this opaque example to you. Since most people know how to add and subtract while almost no-one knows about teaching elementary school, you get endless asspain about common core. One funny thing is that people keep reiterating they're chemical engineers or whatever high-status job, but still can't understand it, as though being unable to understand elementary school math is proof of superior intelligence

how is that a shortcut? The problem should be at most 2 steps. Another problem is that if you don't use the method taught and don't show all steps you lose points on tests, thus grades. The way math is normally taught here discourages figuring out shortcuts yourself

>Jow Forums posters are brainlets
This method is an attempt to consciously show how high IQ /sci/entists subconsciously manipulate numbers in their heads.
It is a noble but fruitless effort.
Most mutts and Jow Forums posters don't even reach this level of understanding so it's especially a waste of effort when brainlet teachers are trying to teach this to low IQ niggers.

>high IQ

the problem with showing these methods is that you're supposed to figure it out yourself to really understand why you should use the shortcuts. Not to mention that mental math is almost always discouraged when learning these "shortcut" methods. Math should be taught through its actual rules by those who understand the shortcuts. If you want to improve learning, you need better teachers in smaller classes.

This is only for poor plebs. Rich kids get the real sylabus. Keep the masses stupid and they wouldn't rise against you.

that's so simple though. the kid only forgot to count back by the 10 in 316, but that guy's advice is better

it's not just poor kids, it's public education which includes some richer kids if you live in a small rich city.
If you want the real syllabus just use the internet. Self study has never been easier
