I say this as a maths student and coming from a family full of teachers
you are not there to teach the kids maths
you are not there to teach them useful skills
you are there to teach them to pass an exam
your job is to get them thru the exam and onto the next stage where they learn to pass an exam in order to get to the next stage to pass an exam to get into a job where they are taught the useful skills
Its a retarded system yes, but it is the system we have and we must do our best to abuse it to its fullest extent
teach the kids the bare minimum, get them doing exam papers over and over again make it so every time they do one they are like robots
make it so they are getting A*'s every time
that is your job
do it

It's designed to obfuscate math so the well performing kids (generally white boys) don't do any better than girls, niggers and mongs.
Interestingly it's a private institution that designed it, and the creator explicitly stated it was designed to destroy white prospects.

Τry to make a game out of math. Like a game of capitalism where everyone has to buy/sell imaginery products.

I've read some samples of CC math that weren't that bad, they just got the students to think of accomplishing similar problems in different ways. Then there are other problems where there's an unnecessary of complexity to accomplish something simple; as if confusing the student was the primary focus.

My favorite ones, though, and I don't think you'll fall prey to this, are the problems that ask the student an interesting conceptual math question, and instead of the student not understanding and getting it wrong, the teacher is too fucking stupid to understand why the student is right. I think this was the case for that famous pizza problem everyone on pol posts. I could be wrong.

I dunno. Have you seen any egregious examples of CC math thus far, dude?
>>
>>136028136
So, if I understand it right: traditionally, 2+2=4. Done. But now, 4= 4x1, 2^2, 12/3, etc.

It's an attempt to utilize maths teaching to instill relativistic logic. Instead of solving a problem with a set answer, you're being taught to come to a conclusion through any means possible.

Considering that early mathematics instills the some of the logically processes you use for thr rest of your life, there's societal implications to such a change.

But in the meantime teachers justify it as being a more open process that helps students learn the underyling rules.

Or something.

Common Core is a set of standards that decides what kids should know. It says nothing about the specific ways to teach them. That falls on the states, school districts, and individual teachers. But I guess it's easier to remain ignorant and blame muh common core for our shitty education system

you can "teach" kids common core without teaching them common core

The whole point of common core is to give kids different tools to learn so that they can better understand the principle behind the math you're teaching them. In the actual district they just care about how well your students do in their tests, but if you can skirt around common core and just teach mathematical methods that actually make sense and have your students still understand it, then you should be fine. As long as you dont teach by following all the common core shit pedantically and as long as you do more than just give them common core worksheets, then you wont be like those retarded common core teachers that just make school harder for kids.
>>
>>136024818
The answer is 16. Recall PEMDAS:
1) Parenthesis: 2 * 2 = 4
2) Multiplication and division have equal priority, begin with first operation read from left to right: 20 / 5 = 4
3) Complete second operation read from left to right: 4 * 4 =16

No. In a properly written equation you can read it backwards, forwards or whichever way you please so long as you are following the rules of PEDMAS/BODMAS/whatever.
The "left to right" is what they each children for ease of convenience.
>>
>>136031508
Once the expression in the brackets have been simplified they merely suggest a multiplication operation: 20 / 5 (4) = 20 / 5 * 4

At this stage division and multiplication have equal priority and the first operation read from left to right, division, is performed.

Comrade, 5(4) = 5 * 4. As a multiplication operation it takes equal priority with division. It is the operations inside the parenthesis that take priority over other operations.

The fact that you are arguing about an elementary school equation is a proof in itself, that something is wrong. Mathematics are about solving problems, not about arguing which operation has the highest priority. That is only a hindrance and should be clarified beforehand.

>>136024818
The funny thing is that probably the point the teacher in that picture was trying to get across is correct and actually gives a very useful insight.
It doesn't matter what set of rules you use, as long as they're consistent you get correct math. It doesn't mean that both answers are "equally" correct, it means that they're both correct in their respective systems. Saying that they're both correct is of course gross oversimplification, but it is not as retarded as some people here seem to think.

Ability to define your own consistent systems within math and work in them is actually very important thng if you ever want to get above monkey level algebra.

Not 100% sure, but I'm inclined towards saying yes.

Not even close. Plugging numbers into known equations or juggling letters around a little doesn't make you smart at all.
Even analysis for engineers is just applying set of rules into an integral/derivative/whatever and going to real mathematician when you have trouble or using numerical "solutions".

Hits home

I am that "outlier" black kid, living in the ghetto. That entire read was SCARILY accurate. going to a predominately black school from pre-k to 8th and then A white School 9-12th and let me just say, I've given the fuck up on my people. i avoided this shit show with a Parochial, Catholic education my entire life, scared shitless of public schools. The black kids i was around insulted you for everything. to them, having a "crooked hairline" was the equivalent of ripping your pants they would shit on everybody for it - even kids without one.

Every day, I walk around my drug-dealing infested excuse for a neighborhood, I lose my sanity slightly more and more each day. I wonder to myself how in the FUCK any parent could allow their child to live in this squalor? Broken sidewalks, Gangs everywhere, drug houses everywhere, a shooting or 6 every damn night (I can't sleep near windows) the WORST music there is, no community - that died when I was growing up (we had a police officer as a block captain - she's gone now so it got baaaaad)

I wonder sometimes, what made me DESPISE this culture? what made me different because as far back as I can remember, I hated it all. I cared more about my own individual virtues and growth than I did posturing and broken slang - so "You sound white" is something i hear frequently. I know one thing is for sure, I will NOT allow my children to live like this - I will demand they can speak English along with a secondary fluent: Chinese, Russian, French, german or Japanese. No smart phones, a healthy diet so they're not fat asses like me, And i will make sure that they're not fucking stupid.

In the original picture she is teaching science. Weather, if I recall.

You can tell it's a shop a bit more easily because the borders off the screen it's being projected onto are unedited.

Even the lowest level math has beauty in it. Try to find that beauty so that you can enjoy what you're teaching.
If you weren't saying you were suicidal over the level of math, but meant that you're suicidal over having to use common core methods, I have no wisdom, you're just screwed....

I literally meant the opposite thing, algebra is just as much math as arithmetic.

>>136038464
What, you had a few classes on set theory?
Or maybe a professor even derived the formula for integration by parts on the blackboard. Big stuff.

Engineers aren't mathematicians, simple as that.

If anyone gets hired at NASA he's not going to bother with writing down equations in an ambiguous way. He's probably not really going to bother with writing down many equations at all, you calculate most important stuff with software anyway. I don't get why Americans even bother with writing a*b/c when writing it as a fraction is better in every way.

Common Core math is anti-teacher and anti-student.

A good teacher adapts their lesson to their classroom and teaches several methods to solve the problem. From there, students can be assessed on using the method(s) of their choice to effectively reach the answer, as each student will have methods which they find easy and difficult. This would be Universal Design for Learning (UDL) and would be a good way to design a lesson.

If you're teaching multiplication, for example, you could teach several basic methods of multiplication and number sense. While the class works with the problems, you could identify students struggling and teach them other methods and see what is most effective for them. Then on the test you just go "use 3 methods to get this answer"

Common Core doesn't do that. Common Core expects the student to be a master of all ten methods. It's a huge issue of breadth instead of depth for the teacher and student alike. Additionally, when assessed on, say, multiplication, a student will be told on the state test "Use compensation to get this answer." with the implicit fact that using a different method (e.g. understanding multiples of 5) doesn't count. A student could be able to get the answer easily 3 or 4 different ways, but they're not so good with method #6? Tough shit, they're not getting those points.

Isn't that changing the "language". If any operation can take priority then then the statement can be interpreted in multiple ways, all being correct. While the intended statement is lost in translation.

Personally I agree with the "addition to do subtraction" thing. Like if I have 344-215, I would add 85 to get to 300, then add 44. My answer is then 85+44=129

I taught 4 years in public school

This year I moved to a private school. I haven't started yet but the vibe is totally different.

The curriculum is actually rigorous and people treat you like a human being and respect you. Fuck public schools. And I wasn't even teaching in a shitty district. Rich white suburban CT district.

Public schools are a waste of money and just a den of liberalism and retardation

Only thing I don't understand is saying you add to get to 300. You 300-215 then you add your 44 back

The people who are in charge of curriculum at the state and national levels are fucking retarded. Most of them are ivory tower limousine liberals who have no concept of reality.

They write books and theorize about reinventing the teaching wheel...end up making a rectangle and then brainwash administrators to pay big ((($))) for workshops to try their new bullshit...that doesn't work that well.

Most of them are well intentioned people but just happen to be retarded leftists.

Trump talks about kicking education back to the states...but honestly fuck the state governments too. You are just replacing one Jew for another more local Jew.

End public schools.

"lonear" is not that hard tho
>>
>>136040163
Well, yes, it is. But that's something I want to prevent. Maybe I should have formulated it differently, by "clarifying it beforehand" I meant writing it as a fraction or adding parentheses so that it leaves no room for guessing. Without changing the math "language", of course.
>>
>>136040651
Yup. It also doesn't help that a lot of these methods are more useful when the fundamentals are mastered for a majority of students. Some of your brightest do that well with them, but you could have taught them some of that anyway with bonus/extra credit problems.

It also doesn't help that companies like Pearson worked to render even more basic concepts more difficult to comprehend in order to obsolete as many original materials as possible. Too bad that everyone has called it "carrying over" for decades, we're calling it "regrouping" now so that you have to use our bullshit and parents are confused as hell with elementary level math when the kid takes it home.
>>
>>136041223
Math classes should teach algebra by the end of sixth grade, and then start set theory and mathematical constructions. That way you can teach basic analysis and linear algebra by the end of high school. Pearson is a scam
>>
You can learn more than one method to anything, and if you aren't putting extra study outside of the classroom and even within it during downtime, you failed and I don't feel a pinch of sympathy for you.

It all comes down to expecting teachers to shove exactly the right method onto your kid to achieve the best results. A hilariously unreasonable demand that could only have been fermented in the mind of an idiot.

You already failed as a parent miserably if your kid is in public education.
>>
Another university teacher reporting in. I always only give a fuck about a couple of good students. The majority, which are total idiots, don't matter. Parents told them how beautiful and smart they are, and how everyone would lick their pink buttholes. The reality turned out to be different.

Nevertheless, the German education system is more and more oriented towards the dumbest.

i didnt know he was jewish, but (((of couuuurse))) he was...

as for HOW they do it, i will clarify. i teach graduate exams and have seen this common core stuff snuck into sat and gre revisions

if you have a ramge of 1~100 there is a peecenyile based score if every single equestion can be right of wrongly answerrd

the new test gives a series of 5 or so questions based around a sibgle passage or chart

in the ne test revisions, the bottom 20% of the questions are unmissable if uou are not handicapped. another 20% are "advanced" questions that ask you to citr evidence from an answer jn an earlier problem in a series about a single graph or chart, so also unmissable for moderate students. 20% of the questions can be right ir wrong based on skill alone

the final 20% of the questions are extremely hard, such that only advanced students will get them

this can be interpreted as a compression of the total range of possible scores

for example, the advanced students will probably get ALL the SAME hard questions right, but it thrn becomes impossible to tell whoch bright atudent got a higher score because technically they will be scored the same on a curve

so on for thr miderate students, because now only a small number of qs are considered moderate

the "hardest" quote fucking quote questions in their scaling system with the heaviest weight are the 2nd moat easy, which will booat lower scorers who are consistent above the scores of smarter people who are nervous or rush

that is just the mathematics of how thr tests were made. there are other jewish tricks

i am available for a bit to answer any qs.
>>
>>136040245
What sorcery is this? I would just add 6 to the 344 and subtract the 3-2 and the 50-15 separate to get 135 and subtract the 6 again

>>136021394
Do we really need to teach this guy about his own educational system? OP is not mad, because he has to teach elementary school math, such as your example. OP hates the fact he has to teach common core.

>>136042666
if i am tired and my phoneposting is hard to read the tldr is thusly

thy reduced essrntially a percentile scale to a pent-ile scale. they even made the acores smaller to accomodate that there is zero difference from one score to the next point up.

the top 10‰ of the gre score range is now a flat top 1%, meaning that within the top ten its almist impossible to see who is top 5 or top 2. the scores are inditonguishable on a percentile basis.

it harms thr best students the most

the score variation happen around the middle where they can take out mid performing whites and sneak in the best black stidents
