So they can bring everyone down to lowest common denominator.

Can someone give me a quick tldr on the common core?

So when my son first brought this shit home it blew my fucking mind. But after working on it with him I've realized it's about critical thinking and/or thinking out of the box.
> here are two numbers 8 and 5 [8+5]=13
> make an equation that includes a 10
> [(8+2=10)+3]=13
Yeah, it's confusing but our word problems back in the weren't much different. Just phrased much easier..

8+5=(8+2)+(5-2)=10+3

Get it?

Where's that video about the jew that specifically says it common core was made was to lower the white males' privilege?

Niggers cannot achieve scores anywhere near humans on most standardized testing. Common core was brought in to bring everyone down to their level. All to protect feelings.

That's just over complicating things. Fucking ridiculous.

'take 2 from 5 and add it to 8'
'8+2=10'

These statements seem completely unrelated...
What the fuck is wrong with these braindead teachers?
Maths is not subjective FFS.


People need to die.
For plato.

...

It sounds like wording is the problem with that particular question. So what they're asking for isn't to arrive at the answer 10, but to show steps including the number 10 as one of them?

I don't understand the practical use for that sort of question or wording, either. Why tell them precisely how to solve every little aspect of the problem? Many kids won't need to fuck around with steps doing 8+5, you just put the fucking numbers together jesus christ

>a thing
it's a thing like stupid speech patterns are a thing

We can't make niggers smarter so let's make everyone niggers.

agree with this user, and the point of the problem is to get kids to understand what it means to write an expression in a particular "form". simple example would be like every even number can be written of the form 2k, where it doesn't really matter what k is

it is good for math-specific fluency, possibly arguable if there has any other greater point to it

Common core was a mistake

To help kids who's parents don't teach them Mathematics at home

protip: this is most kids... not the type of kids who grow up to shitpost on Sup Forums, like most of us who learned math at home.

Forgot my funny picture for your enjoyment

so liberals can dumb down kids to their own level of intelligence

trying to understand this gave me brain autism, what the fuck ameritards

>thinking out of the box
It's arithmetic. Arithmetic IS the box.

that's clever I like

Sup Forums what do you think about teaching children with shit like Euclid's Elements or Archimedes?

When I was beginin my school in public school, I was raised with these, in duality with my homeschooling, not only was I taught the material, but I was taught how the material came to be and by whom.

So they're looking at how to come to a specific answer given results that don't indicate that answer...Yes this won't cause problems in statistics or anything.

SO this is just re-branded algebra of 'fill in the box to complete the equation'

I get it, but that's dumb. Why not just teach kids 8+5=13? Why do they have to make 10 in any part of that equation? Hell, they could do it with their hand. I start at 8 then count fingers. 9, 10, 11, 12, 13! No reason, AT ALL, to stop at 10. Just pass right over it. Why overcomplicate it. Math works because it doesn't have nonsense. If you follow the correct mathmatical rules, you WILL get the right answer. Even when you start taking derivatives in 3 dimensional coordinates, as long as you follow the rules, you will get the answer, not a random 10 in the middle of the equation because someone said so. Fuck common core. Keep it simple stupid!

Fuck I'm mad. Homeschool is looking more and more right for my little one.

We are going to get steamrolled by China so badly this century.

It's literally to give blacks a chance.

You seem to be forgetting Obongo, like any black dictator, is a dumb racist commie. The only way to bring the impoverished class up (in this case, the black race) is to bring the upper classes down.

Central planning is evil. Common core comes from central planners, and is evil.

A retarded populace is easier to dominate and exploit than an educated populace.

Common core teaches you how smart people do math in their heads after they've learned how to do it, but the end result is the learner doesn't ever learn how to do the basic core concept.

The point of CC is to eliminate memorization of times tables and equations and supplement them with "critical thinking". By doing this they also have to make all the questions easier though.

I'm still getting him to memorize his tables though.

What? Can't you just do that in one step not 3 it's the most basic thing in maths and the first thing you are taught. why do you have to make it more complex? it makes the kid dumber by just doing it

Diversity and inclusion of all numbers senpai

Please give me more of this.

You know those kids who should be in special ed? The one who have parents that bitch enough to keep them in normal classes? The ones who insist little Steve is an angel and doesn't need extra help like those stinky retarded kids? Yeah, common core exists so that little Steve becomes the norm.

Take a look at number 6

What the fuck, I'd knock the math teacher out if that shit was pulled on my son

That's racist user.
Exactly. Back in the day
> (8+x)+y=13
Would be the likely question.

Someone with PhD finally got revenge on someone he hates that beat him relentlessly throughout his life and can finally get revenge by making his rival's kids retarded in math.

> I was taught how the material came to be and by whom.

That would have helped me a lot. Rote learning is for chinks and poo in the loos.

It makes sense to do it mentally, but forcing kids to write it out as part of a test is dumb as shit.

Easier to tear someone down than build yourself up

i'd literally murder the phd nigger who did this to me the son

That's a good point, friendo. But it makes me wonder if the teachers as a whole are fluent enough in math/charismatic enough to convince a child that these concepts are important enough to internalize.

Learning Visual Multiplication took my from a C to A+ student in high School. Teachers thought it was some voodoo shit back in the early 90s though.

Behold the mathpill.

This is a PERFECT analogy!

It's not. The disconnect between this trash and college arithmetic is so vast, these kids are going to be helpless in higher education. Fill in the blank boxes. Do you see the issue? Pro-tip: Variables are racist and are a fact of life.

For the record, the quoted poster is a Brockpuppet shilling for CC. Add his style to your dossiers, Anons. Filter Brockpuppet posts and disregard Brockpuppet posters.

Pic related, his name is jason zimba

Teaching kids math by using fucking riddles?
How many times can you subtract 1 from 10?

K-12 was implemented to enslave the plebs, dumb them down, and keep them down. It's so the status quo doesn't get interrupted by intelligent upstarts. Camouflaged modern slavery. Teaches the plebs to police and peck at each other like crabs in basket.

youtube.com/watch?v=eeEWPbTad_Q Quick rundown of the function of American public school

youtube.com/watch?v=Mr-aEtJVVdk Charlotte Thomson Iserbyt served as the head of policy at the Department of Education during the first administration of Ronald Reagan. Exclusive interview with Iserbyt breaks down how conditioning/training under a corporate agenda has replaced traditional education, leading to a deliberate dumbing down of Americans. Iserbyt further explains how Reagan signed agreements merging the U.S. and Soviet systems under the United Nations banner, turning over education and many other areas of public policy to global control.

As many times as I like, time permitting!
10 - 1 = 9, 10 - 1 = 9, 10 - 1 = 9...

Now you give me a gold star for thinking outside of the box.

switch to base thirteen. 8 + 5 = 10

Trips speak true.

It does help. Thinking critically and visually imaging it's process make it easier to comprehend.

My Uncle is the one who tutored me. He was probably autistic but he was a history Professor and armature mathematician. He wasn't allowed by my parents to actually take me from school. But he still taught me.

He would lecture me on alot of historical perspectives, and all my math and basic principles were hands on. Small engineering challenges kinda, I dunno I could elaborate on him if needed.

Everything for those who apply themselves. Seek higher learning and elevate yourself.

Not just niggers. Spice can't be bothered to read or do basic math. That is why they are such shit contractors, they don't measure anything. The just cut materials until they think it will fit somehow. This is why the mcmansion everybody bought before 2008 are complete garbage. A million dollar house assembled by a guy who cannot count to 50 in English.

They want us dumb and whites just won't be dumb. This is why we must rise up.

Because treating numbers as components is the basis for speed math (44X6 = 40*6 + 4*6 = 240+24 = 264) as well as thinking of math as a system instead of rout formula.

You can get 10 from 8 + 5 by getting 13 and then having a nigger steal 3, then you have 10.
Fixed it.

That really gets the noggin joggin.

Plz no bully. Just explaining the way I see it. My son is forced to know this shit and so I've learned it as well. Better than just sticking fingers in my ears and yelling about how hard it is cuz I'm fun.

Yes it's fucking retarded.
Hell yeah I can wait for DeVose to scrap it.

To make people accepting of whatever bullshit they're told by state authority figures at a young age I gather. It is 2+2=5, make sure the goys unable to use basic reasoning and alter how they think about everything from the earliest part of their lives.

Touche!

If we wanted kids to actually learn, yeah of course. But we don't. We want burger flippers and debt slaves.

If you teach them math when they are young and they learn it, they would never get in over their heads in loans.

This.

the child is correct- numbers are absolute and the question asked as not asked properly at all- there is not real question of another variable involved - almost nonsense like -

They're trying to teach math done in your head, but done on paper. It's a good idea in concept, but has had retarded execution. They are trying to move away from memorizing math facts (simple addition, multiplication, etc.) and more towards a conceptual understanding.

It's retarded to do at such a low level, because there are some things in math that just need to be memorized. It works better at the high school level.

To break the children's minds so that they cannot fight effectively in the coming war against the UN

Yeah but that's only for doing arithmetic in your head there's no reason to teach it by writing it down

The entire point is to satanically scramble the child's brain

take what education is and make it even more useless just to make the children not know why the fuck they are doing it further

I can see the logic of it in one sense, it's a badly worded question and solution however.

In principle you are trying to answer 8+5, but the question is framing this as a mental step to that answer. First step get to 10, so you take 3 off 8. That potentially is an easier mental calculation than the first. So you are at 10. You know you've got 3 left, add that to 10 = 13

Think of 354 + 23 as a random example. Mentally I think I would add 6 and 2 to make 360 and 25 to get to 385, minus the 8 to get to 377
Obviously for anyone over 8 or 9 its not that hard for the problem given

"Do not train children to learning by force and harshness, but direct them to it by what amuses their minds. "


"the most important part of education is proper training in the nursery"

Plato was on to something.

There's nothing wrong with common core, it just so happens that americans are too dumb to understand a different way of teaching math. You think make 10 means equal 10 but it just means to get the number ten as part of the sum.

I'm 40 and I haven't learned math yet.
I make 200K a year fiddling with computers

I don't think there's some grand conspiracy, but the end result is basically just babysitting until the kids are legal adults. The average american K-12 education in public schools doesn't really put any pressure at all on the kids to learn anything or be achievement oriented. Most cities have magnet schools for the smart kids which are measurably better. It's a cruel fact, however, that the divide between expensive private schools and even the magnet schools is enormous. If you've got a smart kid, there's nothing better you can do for their future than an actually decent private school education. When I got to university I was miles ahead of the bulk of the public school kids. Half of them couldn't even write an essay for shit. It also turned out that our AP Calc teacher in HS taught us the equivalent of Calc 1 thru 3 over the course of a year, so I breezed through most of my math requirements. Meanwhile at my job, I interface with public school/2nd-3rd tier university dopes who can barely spell, add, or subtract. I'm rambling here but I guess my point is that there are levels of the game.


can you even imagine teaching numerical bases to your average american high schooler? It'd be a disaster.

This is an English thread. Speak English, Achmed.

that sucks

If I have 4 donuts and you have 5 pencils how many pancakes will fit on the roof?

The answer is purple because aliens don't wear hats.

They need to write it down to evaluate, but it's the thought process that is being taught.

You can take $8 Millions dollars of worthless textbooks and mark them up another $5 Million. Then pay politicians $3 Million in kickbacks for buying the worthless textbooks. You are left with 10 Million. So fuck yeah you can make 10 with 8 plus 5.

Nigga I didn't even complete grade 8 and I'm twenty fucking one

they'll learn the thought process themselves.

Everyone thinks differently. Forcing a thought process onto someone is a bad idea desu

Math by rout has no purpose, its a waste of time.

"Benezet followed his outrageous suggestion with an outrageous experiment. He asked the principals and teachers in some of the schools located in the poorest parts of Manchester to drop the third R from the early grades. They would not teach arithmetic--no adding, subtracting, multiplying or dividing.

As part of the plan, he asked the teachers of the earlier grades to devote some of the time that they would normally spend on arithmetic to the new third R--recitation. By "recitation" he meant, "speaking the English language." He did "not mean giving back, verbatim, the words of the teacher or the textbook." The children would be asked to talk about topics that interested them--experiences they had had, movies they had seen, or anything that would lead to genuine, lively communication and discussion. This, he thought, would improve their abilities to reason and communicate logically. He also asked the teachers to give their pupils some practice in measuring and counting things, to assure that they would have some practical experience with numbers.

At the beginning of their sixth grade year, the children in the experimental classes, who had not been taught any arithmetic, performed much better than those in the traditional classes on story problems that could be solved by common sense and a general understanding of numbers and measurement. Of course, at the beginning of sixth grade, those in the experimental classes performed worse on the standard school arithmetic tests, where the problems were set up in the usual school manner and could be solved simply by applying the rote-learned algorithms. But by the end of sixth grade those in the experimental classes had completely caught up on this and were still way ahead of the others on story problems."

move to nova scotia and start selling dope out of a trailer park.

Common core is proof that "educators" only want to destroy future generations.
Almost everyone at my college who are studying to become teachers are stupid or feminist, often both. Mixing in all kinds of gender fuckery and teaching kids to be gender neutral, introducing cultural marxism at a young age, forcing their shitty beliefs on kids.

>Healthcare

So like big pharma was doing for the last decades, sometimes purely bullshitting the customer, but it's ok, because they get fined time from time?

>Poverty

Like it was done by "socialists" before Ford came in with revolutionary idea of not treating workers like utter shit and sovets showed what happens when people get really mad and desperate?

>Debt

Like the ones corporations and Wall Street monkeys make? Mind you, while clearly stating that the moment anyone will try to stop them, they will do everything to collapse economy?

But than again, it's coming from a retard that thinks that decreasing taxes for rich fags will reduce the poverty because everyone knows that "sharks of capitalism" just LOVE altruism.

>Gun Control

You don't need to worry about sheep with guns as long as they are conditioned to be sheep.
Gun is not a magic tool that makes loser a winner. Loser is still a loser, only this time, he is a loser with a gun in his ass.

>Welfare

So like it was done in Victorian Britain with workhouses? Or was it ok because it weren't "dem commies" doing this shit?

>Education
>Religion

Stupid commies teaching goyim to not spend their money on some fags who claim they are messengers of God. Truly the worst thing to do.

>Class warfare.

>Divide the people into the wealthy and the poor.

I am sure that people living in mud huts while "nobility" lived in palaces didn't notice something off. Truly people were united even then.
Hell, might be proto-commies that were doing all that "peasant riots" time from time.

Mental gymnastics and "dindu nuffin" is strong here.

This is why you don't let cucks teach

Hell, if faggots like him were just stating "Yes I love the rich, and poor men go fuck yourselves", his position would be more respectable. Despicable, cynical, but respectable.

Instead, he is wriggling his ass like a fucking whore, trying to pass the things that are either the product of capitalist system (and the logical excess of said system) or the things that were here since FUCKING FEUDALISM and "socialist know how".

How much one can fucking shill for Jews and wealthy faggots?

Hitler really should've taken on the burgers. Together with Stalin.

this suggests Common Core is designed to teach kids Math using pathos and not logos

but it doesnt explain how they do that

how the fuck could you learn math using emotion?

Found Trudeau.

Are you arguing against system to bring out the best consumers?
Are you against corporations making a "hard earned" money from these mindless consumers?

ARE YOU A FUCKING COMMIE????

Mate, making dumb consumers is an essence and endgame of capitalism. Capitalism with no restrictions whatsoever. It's a goal of global corporations as well, because dumb consumers:

a) Will consume EVERY shit and pay money for it.
b) Will be dumb enough to NOT make any competition for big players
c) Will never ask any "bad" questions.

This will ensure the constant flow of resources into (((their))) hands, and, of course, will ensure the constant flow of cannon fodder to protect their consumerist haven from everything: Nationalism, Fascism, Communism, Socialism, hell, even fucking common sense.

(((They))) took the lessons of the failure of monarchy in Russia and retake of power in Weimar Republic. They learned that you can't just treat your populace like a niggers/cattle anymore. So they created this disgusting pseudoprosperity, making general populace to consume shit they, if you think about it, don't even need much, tying them down to that chimera of "prosperity", eliminating the whole "they have nothing to lose" situation , that would sparkle the revolution of ANY kind.

And it went so perfectly on the "individualism mindset"... Nobody in their sane mind will go fight the system even if it will bleed them dry. For two reasons:
a) "Won't happen to me"
b) "Don't want to risk MY shit"

That's all. We lost.
The enemy in WW2 were not commies or nazis.
The enemy in WW2 was paying them both to become the sole undisputed victor.
The enemy in WW2 was American Upper Class. Jewish and WASP alike.

Because, the answer needs to conform to your emotional needs.

If you don't like the way things work out, you can claim it to be incorrect until something can be made to work in a way that doesn't upset your feelings.

It's all about muh feels because this was made to try and improve nigger self-esteem, as they're unable to grasp standard mathematical techniques. Again, all about the feels and not about the math itself.

Does anyone here remember the push for "Ebonics"?

Because spics and niggers are too stupid to understand basic public education that's been going on forever.

I'm not sure if this is still a thing in Florida but when I was in high school during 11th grade you had to take and pass the fcat. Well on 9th and 10th grade we took practice test but they didn't count against you. I asked the teachers and they said it's just for the students to see how it will be like next year. So I did the first section and got board so after that I just filled the scantron with A as my answer for ever question.

Next year in 11th grade someone comes into my class to pull me put and tells me I have to go to a prep class for students who failed the practice test every other week. Told them I just Christmas treed it because It didn't count and I didn't want to take it but they say i have to go because my score said I failed.

I get into this class and it's full of spics and niggers and one kid I knew who did the same thing as me. The spics and niggers could hardly do any of the math questions. Basic fucking algebra. We also get tested for reading comprehension so the teacher has us read out loud. Each one takes about 5 minutes to read through a paragraph. Niggers are mumbling through it, spics stuttering at every word and trying to sound it out. I read through them in a minute. Finally after a few weeks of me telling them I Christmas treed the test the teacher finally tells me not to come anymore because it's apparent I know how to read and do basic math. Jesus Christ that was probably my first red pill as a kid.

it's better to be technically right and do the stupid thing

Mexican farmer that has a lot of workers but didn't finish High school.

Where do I learn this seems fascinating

CC is a set of standards that measure student competency based on outcomes

It is necessary to dumb down the white populace to prepare them for subjugation by the jew-asian hybrids and their clique of mulatto enforcers.

i was in one of the trial high schools for a similar program
where the gov't ended up saying that the 2 yrs
of the program i took would not be counted as credit
toward my diploma.
ended up in regular math programs after that and
a summer school session

good god

>Why is common core a thing?
Because libtards want total control over every part of your life from cradle to grave.

>8+1 = 9
>9+1 = A
>A+1 = B
>B+1 = C
>C+1 = 10
... you change the base to 13. that's how you make 10 when adding 8+5.

Commen core was an executive order made by George W. Bush back in the early 00s that made every single public school in America into an indoctrination facility.

This was called 'jewish science' in pre-ww2 germany. The jews used this tactic to confuse the schoolchildren and changed the rules of the system in an illogical fashion to raise the confusion level even further.
