Anyone else got some common core 'math'?

I get a feeling that it's the 3rd one... but not because I know it, just off raw pattern recognition skills alone. (I am a member of Mensa)

What we know:

14 - 8 = 6

We are now looking for 14s, 8s, and 6s.

The third one has 8 filled in circles.
The third one has 6 white circles.
(Third one also has 6 blank boxes but these are not important)

The problem should read as 6 + 8 = 14, and not as 14 - 8 = 6. Of course this is far to complex for the average child to understand, and it's not the way I would do it.

Say to students, "Ten is a very special number. Ten is some people's favorite number. Why might 10 be a favorite number?" (I have 10 fingers, 10 toes; 10 helps me add.) "One reason 10 is a very special number is because it can be so helpful, when you subtract. It's very important to know the pairs of numbers that make 10."
Begin by putting the ten-frame attachment under the document camera. Write "12 – 9 = __" on the board.
Put 9 red counters on the top ten-frame.
Then ask the students, "How many yellow counters do I need to add to fill the ten-frame?" (1) "How many more yellow counters do I need to make 12?" (2 more put in the second ten frame)
Tell students, "You can now count the total number of yellow counters to find the difference. How many yellow counters do we have?" (3) "So 12 – 9 = 3 and 3 + 9 = 12; I need 1 to make 10 and 2 more to make 12."

Israel is a racist apartheid state who has illegal Jewish ONLY settlements in the west bank where the border walls are wrapping around them inside Palestinian in an obvious land grab.

This is why terrorism happens and why the rest of the west gets blowback from it.

Israel builds these settlements on top of Palestinian villages that they have bulldozed by the military.

Let me teach you boys how to calculate the area of a fucking trapezoid. It isn't hard.

We've got two triangles:
1/2 * b * h = 1/2 * 4 *5

We've got one rectangle:
l * w = 5 * 12

10 + 10 + 60 = 80

A = 80

Divide it into three. Two isosceles triangles, and a rectangle. Add them together and you get the area.

>>
>>99972469
why are telling me the formula, i said it was possible the whole time
>>
>>99972031
Are you sure? Because if you look at the left triangle you have one side that is 5, the other 2 and the hypotenuse is 8. So:
22 + 52 = 82
29 = 64
>>
>>99972698
both sides have 8 as the side lengths
>>
>>99972304
I find it easy. I'm just comparing.

Why am I not surprised?

If you calculate using the 12, 5, 16 figures and ignoring 8 then the area is 70.
If you calculate using the 12, 8, 16 figures and ignoring the 5 then you get 16root60 = 123.9

If you think 'hurr just follow the method' you are a born slave.

Look closer.

Use Pythagoreans theorem to calculate the length of the base of the triangle on the left whose hypotenuse is 8 and height is 5.

Then take that number, multiply it by 2 and subtract what you get from 16.

>protip: you don't get 12

This means that the shape is not a trapezoid if it is even possible given all the dimensions.

That method adds a lot of extra lines (which can lead to getting lost) if you have to round more than one decimal place (e.g. 53253 - 23929), and suddenly becomes difficult to intuit if you are working in a base other than 10, whereas the "old" method is basically the same in every base. There are probably other issues that I am not thinking of when you get into other more advanced types of math.

This is correct. The values given for the shape do not make anything resembling math sense because if the angle is a right angle, then the short side of the triangle ends up being 6.245. If you add these two numbers to 12 (the top line of the trapezoid) you get the nonsensical answer that the length of the bottom line is now 24.49 ((6.245 * 2) + 12) which is clearly wrong. The way they *want* you to solve this is by taking the longer bottom line, 16, and subtracting 12, giving you 4. Split that among the base of the two triangles, making the shortest side 2 in length. Now take the area of both triangles ((5*2/2) * 2) + (5*12) and your answer is 60.

I think the problem is that this shape defies trigonometry because it's not meant for trig, or even geometry. It's like grade school math at best. If it were a proper geometry problem, it would be marked with the appropriate givens, such as angle congruence, right angles, parallel lines, etc.

Basic logic, perhaps, but complex formal logic is so often fucked up, even by supposedly educated people.

therefore
q -> p

>>99977381

I can figure out calculus on my own, but if you want to have a solid engineering education you better damn well teach it. I can figure out the english language on my own, but again, if your students don't know it, they aren't going to get a damn thing out of the US educational system. Without the proper foundations, kids will be unable to learn, and more importantly, question what they are being taught properly. This is how people end up SJWs. They are not only dissuaded from learning logic, they are actively hardened against it, and taught feelings matter more than facts or reason.

Good thing you're in humanities instead of math, or you'd have flunked out.

According to that diagram, since the hypotenuses of both triangles are eight, and the height of both is five, that means the lengths of the bottom edges of each triangle likewise has to be identical. With the top and bottom of the trapezoid being 12 and 16 respectively, the bottom of each triangle has to be two (16-12=4, divide for by two and you get two for each triangle). If five indeed represents the height of the trapezoid, then the triangles must be right triangles. However, it is physically impossible for a right triangle to have the dimensions 5x2x8.

Don't believe me? Try to calculate it by the Pythagorean theorem:

a^2 + b^2 = c^2
5^2 + 2^2 = 8^2
25 + 4 = 64
29 = 64????

Only through something as idiotic as Common Core would you get teachers showing kids that 29 equals 64.

Wrong word. Morality is a logical system. It is the differentiation of intentions, decisions, and actions between those that are distinguished as proper or good, and those that are improper or evil.

VALUES are purely subjective and subject to change, and at least in part if not in majority, emotionally based. The thought process behind moral action is not subject to feelings, it is beholden to thought and reason. A system of morality can be proven to be destructive, inefficient, or counterproductive. A hierarchy of values is much more subjective.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wrong_direction

You'd be surprised how often people fuck this up, even if they are supposedly educated. Especially when people let their emotions get in the way of things. When the context is unfamiliar, logic is all too often ignored.

A criminology professor once wrote that because there is a correlation between the number of prisoners in a country and the violent crime rate, we should just release all the prisoners. This sounds like something SJWs might be able to get behind, which could be very very very bad.

Things like the wage gap and other illogical conclusions reached by the left and placed in the media are based on similar logical fallacies. People should learn to critique such illogical arguments rather than blindly accepting it because they don't know enough about logic to be able to see the flaws.

Just invert the ten and pretend it's an addition if that makes it easier for you.

>>99979455

The only points of interest concerning sin and cosine are how they arise from the series expansion of the Euler formula.

Calculus is all about the rates of change of infinitesimals (derivatives) and their accumulations (integrals).

Linear Algebra is easier than Trig, and provides an obvious segue into Tensor analysis. Trig is all about rote memorization of formulae that turn out to be completely useless in practice.

Trig curricula is great tuition fodder, which is why we don't emphasize it until college.

I've written CAD software. Everything is linear algebra and polynomials. The only things we use sin/cos for is generating rotations. Yes, even circles are rendered as conic sections.

Some concepts in Trig carry into signal processing (Fourier analysis, but that is usually during or after Calc I - and the more general concept of convolution can be discussed without trig). But, we don't teach that here, either.

Here, educational coverage of higher algebra is atrociously lacking; barely anyone knows what a matrix is, let alone understand the concept of a group.

"Count up to ten starting from 8. It takes 2 counting numbers to do that. subtract ten from fourteen to get four, then count up two more numbers to get six."

The method gained some popularity in the late '80s due to a book by Scott Flansburg titled _Math Magic_. He went on the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson showing off children doing crazy long arithmetic problems in their heads and doing it faster than Johnny carson could do it on a calculator. The book was then sold on tv infomercials and became a best seller.

Too many female teachers were fucking worthless.

No, I think they did. It's a problem of grammar with the question then anything else. The question tries to get kids to think about logical contradictions, but it leaves out in the second part that you are suppose to be MORE OF the pizza and not just in terms of volume.

This is the problem with most common core questions is that they make assumptions and leaps of logic and expect kids to make the same logical conclusions, even though the entire point is to nurture how kids develop in different ways.

failed leftist Federal Gov't driven attempt to teach students visual mental math techniques to arithmetic. not a bad idea in principle but in execution a disaster.

Many states have abandoned it. It's a dumb hair-brained idea that didn't work.

There are 20 boxes
Only in the third one are there 14 circles
In that third answer, 8 circles are filled. 6 are unfilled. Therefore it's assumes that 14-8=6.

It's really simple but teachers have no idea how to teach it and parents don't know how to help their kids.

>Do schools even offer that anymore?

No, everyone is forced to move at the same rate. Advanced classes were stopped because parents complained it made their kids feel dumb. There aren't even remedial classes either, the retards are forced to stay with the regular kids, slowing things down even more.

No child left behind turned into forcing kids to the next level that they couldn't handle and lowering the standards for graduation more and more so that they could call it a success.

Then people wonder why there are so many people unqualified for work when we have so many graduates.

You mean why do it this way? It's just visual learning which tends to be more successful at getting kids to understand the process at an early age. Sesame Street and jingles are useful in learning the alphabet instead of listing out and memorizing, same goes for math.

How schools teach math: 11+19

11 over 19
draw a line
9+1 is 10
carry the 1

No one of experience actually does math like that. You think about the major digits first (10 and 10), add them and estimate and then include the smaller digits. That's just one example and with parents getting shittier, the government is worrying that their schools need to do more work to teach basic thinking.

Unfortunately the old way of math is too ingrained in our society for this switch. It's like changing from the imperial system to the metric system. So that's where we are now.

Fresh 18 year old here, guinea pigged for some common core shit.

It's pretty fucking bad even late into high school.

Holy fuck I have never seen this retarded shit and I come from Brownsville, Tx. I've always been in the Advanced placement classes. Since when was common core a thing?

Good luck.
You might be able to find a real one, but most are retarded.
I tried going to one in highschool, and found out they were religous wackjobs. The answer to everything was "god did it"
The science classes were a joke. The covered anotomy pretty well, but had to have a "god did this" or "and god know this would cause X so he did Y for rasons" in there for everything though.

Im not even an athiest, but at some point you need to teach facts and not try to wrap facts around a religion.

I went back to public school
>mfw I found out the other studends didnt even get a diploma, they got a "certificate of completion" which wasnt even a GED.

The correct answer is any of them.

Because if someone answered wrong (usually niggers), they'll feel bad about themselves (especially niggers); so to avoid that, any answer is the correct answer.

>Honestly we should teach kids formal logic from a young age to avoid this bullshit
But that destroys any chance of libshits brainwashing children!

It's all about what you feel is right!

Is that saying line A T has the equation y= 2x-5?
Its saying its for a dotted line.. there is no fucking dotted line.
The slope is all fucking retarded..
it looks more like y = 4x-5

Whats your major?

Were turning ourselves into a 3rd world country.
Were trashing our education, destroying our white children, and importing shit skines from all over the globe to "pass on the torch"

Europes doing the same. I feel pic related applies to us too.

>Too many female teachers were fucking worthless.
I fucking hate female teachers. I spent the first seven years of schooling with nothing but female teachers. Since I had no comparable experience then, I just went along with thinking this is how it works.

But then seventh grade, first time I had a male teacher and it was like a completely different universe. This dude actually fucking taught the curriculum in his own way and the kids responded positively. We were having FUN learning for once.

I only then just realized how hands-off, lazy, hostile, emotionally-driven, not-at-all intuitive, sometimes wrong but asserting that they're right, and just downright BAD all of those previous female teachers operated. They all went by the book and barely cared, assigning so much fucking useless time-consuming homework every day that I'd be working on it as soon as I got home and wouldn't finish until the sun had already gone down. There was one female teacher who kind of tried, but it barely pinged on my radar at the time.

After that one great year, I end up with two female teachers and it was fucking miserable. I was redpilled on education and how bad women are at it at fourteen years old. High school was a lot better, at least, many male teachers who sure enough were far better bros when it came to teaching.
