Also games trying to be too realistic to the point where it makes the games less fun to play.

Already did, a lot better than the qte bullshit in the main game, but still underwhelming

>>385808694

are brainlets still bothered by this? it's a stepping stone for doing all math in your head

>>385809118
On order to make the addition "easier," the 37 was split up into 3 tens, a 5, and a 2.
This is basically all of common core. Their goal is to create learning that put all kids at the same level, but they effectively do this by crippling kids who are above average.

>>385809368
Yeah but why not just add 7 straight to the 53 though? Why split up the 7? I'm pretty sure kids can keep 10 in their head, it doesn't need to be split down to 5 or less.

>>385808694
>most aggravating video game mechanic that was meant to be fun
That's a tough one. For me it'd probably be Day and Night cycles. In practice it's basically an enforced time limit.

You're thinking wrong, weapon durability is not meant for fun but for challenge and annoyance, drop rates are meant for grinding and increasing artificially game's lenght

>>385808778
QTE's are also not meant to be fun but a cinematic experience "4 teh players", in order to make something happen without creating a new game mechanic

On the top of my mind i can think of fishing. Somebody thought it's fun and adds variety, but most of the time it's just a boring way to abtain some shitty items.

>>385809205
Arbitrary decision, the point is that children can only be trusted to know sums of less than 10.

>>385809479

kids are often on very different levels when it comes to math so you're better off being too thorough than not enough

>>385808694
Was taught to use ^ for exponents. Couldn't figure out why there were so many exponents in this damn thing.

>>385809479
The coolest thing about common core is that the "old" way still works, you can still do it, it's just this method helps kids learn how to do mental math because most 20 year olds can't.
If a kid gets the question wrong for doing it the wrong way, then it's probably a case of a teacher following the planner, which is a problem with public teachers rather than the system of teaching.

The new system is better. Left is for retards that needed a visual assistance to be able to do maths.

I was taught with left and developed right on my own because left is shit.

Glory Kills

At first you think

>I get health for doing this so I should do it whenever possible
>I can even get some emergency ammo from it
>it actually doesn't break the pacing
>I get more health when I glory kill at low health, risk and reward baby
>it keeps me in the game and rewards you for staying on the move and getting closer to enemies

And then when you actually get good at the game and play on Nightmare difficulty you think
>I wish I could move around while Glory Killing
>I keep getting fucking oneshotted by that Imp fireball coming from behind me whenever I exit the Glory Kill animation because I can't see or hear it coming
>I keep losing track of the enemies around me when I'm performing a Glory Kill because of the fixed first-person perspective
>this +5 HP bonus when I'm Glory Killing at full health isn't worth the hassle of losing situational awareness
>I get 20-40 HP when I kill an enemy normally while I'm on low health anyways, so what's the point of Glory Killing in this instance

>>385810154
It's almost as if they're trying to teach you to do it that way.
Like I said, it's a problem with the individual teacher. They should be told to pull the student and parents aside to explain that he didn't get the answer wrong, it's just like order of operations in that you need to do it a certain way to show your work, because thats what they're grading, regardless if you got the right answer or not.

Kill yourself my dear friend with too many chromosomes.

>>385810339
>it's just like order of operations
No, the order of operations is essential to math because breaking the order can fuck up your answer. There is no disadvantage or risk of error using traditional methods instead of the common core method.

>>385810483
The instructions at the top probably say to use estimation.

>>385810230
It's early elementary school math showing the How behind simple addition. The problem before was that there wasn't a good way of showing the work for addition or subtraction, you'd just write the answer.

>>385810456
I said it's like it because, at least my teachers, didn't grade just the correct answer they made sure I was actually using OoO instead of just punching it into a calculator. This is the same principle, they're grading the work not just the answer.

>>385810607
it's still stupid. you shouldn't punish someone for a more accurate answer.

>>385810617
No, it's not the same principle. They grade the work when it comes to order of operations because failing to use the order of operations can lead to a wrong answer. The goal is to teach you that even if you get the right answer, doing it the wrong way will fuck you up down the line. Failing to use common core methods will never fuck you up because it's not a core component of how mathematics fucking works, grading the "work" in this case doesn't accomplish anything.

>>385808694
The new method seems to be written mental math. It's not very quick on paper.

absolutely nowhere in the question did it use the word estimate. it asked if 75 was a reasonable answer, and he answered yes because 75 is the EXACT answer. you don't make up shit without specifically asking for it, that's not how math works. if it wants you to estimate, it will tell you literally to estimate.

fuck off commonfag.

>>385810319
Do you know how to read? I don't write it down, I do maths in my head, for which the new system is better. It's not even a new system, anyone with more than 2 functioning brain cells was already using it.

>>385810762
It accomplishes the kid learning how to use common core, just like grading OoO by the successful completion of each step teaches you to use OoO. They're just trying to teach kids how to do math in their head, it isn't a conspiracy to make kids think the right answer is the wrong answer.

>>385810354
Profitable games are meant to be as braindead as possible. Those games have to appeal to a huge audience, and has to make feel the player as he is doing something, trough scripted events, QTE's, a shitload of optional content that is marked on a map instead of being left to discover.
A kid probably feels cooler doing a glory kill in nuDoom that he would feel for freezing the ground and making enemies fly down the cliff in Dark Messiah of M&M

>>385810617
>there wasn't a good way of showing the work
In elementary school we used checkers pieces as visual aid, and several tricks to make additions/substractions on paper. The "old math" was then used once you knew every additions, substraction, multiplications and divisions up to 20. This "new math" method doesn't seem bad, it's just that similar ones were used 20+ years ago and worked, which is why I don't really see the need to impose it as the new one.

>>385810874
It's question 9, these types of tests have instructions at the top. The kids probably spent the past three fucking weeks learning estimation and the kid was an idiot for not following directions.

>>385811026
Because it's easier to do arbitrary simple math than visualize a checkerboard or ticks. Maybe if you had paper, but at that point I'd just figure it out normally on paper.

>>385810881
are you retarded, anon? you do realize when you do math in your head you group together like terms and perform the operation on them right? as in, exactly what the old method teaches? common core doesn't teach that, it just over-complicates what is simple arithmetic on smaller numbers.

>>385811134
Okay then, as long as children understand math basics thanks to it I have no problem with it.

It's a fun idea for horror games and some other games where some abilities or items are OP.
Like in horror you have to decide if you want more ammo or health or a key items like a better light or not, it really adds to the dire experience.

>>385809543
>drop rates are meant for grinding and increasing artificially game's lenght
It's still bullshit, you could get the item quickly or not get it at all. It's not fun, it's annoying. Killing the enemy x amount of time to get it would be fine but making that drop random is just annoying.

>>385809368
How is that easier? Doing mental calculations in the first way is much easier. 7+3=10 so then I do 60+30=90.

>>385808694
no you pretty much nailed it with drop rates

>kill an enemy and clearly see its fur sitting there attached to its corpse waiting for me to take it
>nope I have to go kill another enemy because it didnt "drop" it according to the rng

>Summoning another phantom...

>>385808694
the one on the right is just how my brain would do it anyways but it seems retarded to write it out

>>385811408
You literally just described what common core teaches kids to do. Except that instead of automatically grouping the 30+60 they broke it down into 10s because the kids learning it are 9.

>>385811428
if I need to five boar spines for my pauldrons, every boar I kill better have a spine.

>>385811381
to be fair anon, if it actually did ask for estimations in the instructions then that's what you're supposed to do. problem is common core is fucking stupid so i doubt it did.

>>385809205
5 is scientifically proven to be easier to handle for mental calculations

>>385811534
But they split 7 into 2 and 5 which seems silly, there's only 10 digits to remember

>>385811405
Law of large numbers
If an item has 1/5000 drop rate, it may mean you will get it after 5 tries, or after slaying 10000 mobs, but generally, a 1/5000 drop rates means that a huge number of players repeating the same process several times will always result in a number extremely close to 1/5000
That said, if a dev decides to set a drop rate to 1/5000 instead of 1/1000 it means that devs wants that item to be 5 times harder to obtain, and this is what is going to happen

If you want i can pull out my notes and demonstrate this mathematically

>>385811606
They're kids, 5 and 2 are easier to work with for children. It's the same reason they did +10 three times instead of just +30. It's teaching the kids to break down bigger numbers, like you did.

Alright let's get this shit started.

>Math>>>>>>>>Maths

It's called "Mathematics" not "Mathsematics" you stupid eurofucks.

>>385811534
kids of age 9 are more than capable of learning how to add the numbers 1 through 10. the "old" method shows you how the digits relate to each and how to perform basic arithmetic on them. number lines, fuckin feelings, or whatever dumb ass shit common core does does not actually show this.

that's why it's a terrible system.

>>385811534
>>385811689
But I didn't. I used the old method. I used this method when I was 9 and had no problems. Are kids really this stupid these days?

It works best for doing multiplications in your head.

If you had to do 247 x 7, it teaches them that it's easier to do it as 247 x 5 + 257 x 2. Which at the same time would be easier to do as (247 x 10)/2 + 247 x 2.

The ENTIRE system is just mental math, but on paper. Yes, it is slower than normal math, but teaching literal children to do mental math is not a bad thing. Public schools need to cater to the stupidest kids so "nobody gets left behind". I, for one (especially after dealing with 20 year olds who cant do math without writing it down), am okay with more people knowing how to do mental math.

I don't see how this helps anyone. There are more steps and more numbers involved. It honestly seems like it would be MORE difficult to do math this way both on paper and mentally.

>>385811751
Here in Australia we say "Maths" and "Sport"; only Americans seem to say "Math" and "Sports".

>>385811996
but it absolutely is a bad thing, anon. the entirety of mathematics is based upon relations and concepts built on itself. if you cannot teach them how to learn the absolute basics, then how can you expect them to go further?

>>385811996
Why aren't teachers teaching common core to the niggers/spic and the old method to everyone else?

>>385808694
That's not new math, that's just a very convoluted way to use the distributive property of the addition.

It's easier to do 53 + 7 + 30

>>385812143
But this is the literal basics, I don't understand. They move from 2+3=5 to this, it isn't something middle school kids or older are doing. This isn't something an adult is expected to write out, or even do because as you've said it's easier to do 53+7=60+30=90. It's a system to teach children how to handle big scary numbers.

>>385812219

Oh my God just 50+30 and 3+7 then add the resulting numbers. That's as simple as it should get you goddamn assholes.

>>385812302
i'm a different anon, i never said it was easier to do it that way. the old method is succinct in what it does, and only has the highest value never exceed 10. hell, it's even easier to visualize in your head (that's still how i do it in my head) because you only need an operation for each digit. in the OP's case, that's 2 steps and you're done. 7+3 = (1)0, and 1+5+3=9.

and the pattern simply continues no matter how large the number is. doing something like 12345767 + 21379197 in your head with the common core method is much more difficult than simply lining them up and going digit by digit. which goes back to what i said about not being taught the absolute of basics of mathematics.

>>385810339
>he didnt get it wrong
Except he gets a no points even thoufh he is right. Thats all that matters

>>385809479
The point is that you can use the shit in OP for larger sums like when 5378 needs to get added to 7983. It's one method for all math - you teach the shortcuts later after you get the fundamentals down.

>>385810607
You cant say the answer is wrong if its a perfect estimate

You keep failing to understand that the people using common core are no older than 10 years old. This isn't about an every day use, it's so the kids understand the basics of adding bigger numbers together so they don't get mommy and daddy to do it up until highschool. Literally, this is pre-grade 3, you wouldn't use this for fractions or numbers with more than 4 digits because, as you just said now, it's simpler to do it normally.

>>385812660
Because the lesson isn't finding the right answer but being able to. The kid could have used a calculator or got their parents to do it (which is why so many parents are against it, they can't do their kids homework for them anymore) and is the same reason you get graded for each step in Order of Operations, so you actually learn how to do it.

>>385811942
Brothers is plural, Mathematics is singular. Your point doesn't work since they end in s for very different reasons. The plural would be Mathematica. There is no earthly reason to put an so on math other than you believe in your dialect's traditions without question or critical thinking.

Why the fuck isn't 75 a good estimate?

Hear me out. No matter which way this problem was built, 75 is the MIDDLE. You can estimate it down, or up, in increments of 10, or 5. 70 AND 80 would both be correct for estimation, but so would 75, and 75 is not only an increment of 5, but it's also literally the correct answer.

Shit like this pisses me off. Teachers shouldn't adhere to a curriculum and should give credit when their kids reach the correct answer and show their work, regardless of how they got to the answer.

Shit like this is why school isn't taken seriously.

The best part is that the teachers who do try typically are either elective teachers who make their own plans or have real life experience (which you typically don't see until high school) or the one who teach the upper echelon classes (rare as they are nowadays) and can't afford to fuck it up. All core classes are so heavily forced to use rigid structure that the teachers hardly care after the first few years, since they don't even get paid enough to.

all this complaining about the common core makes me wonder how some people do common math, like X*11

do you guys right out the problem and actually do the work or do you do the common core method of X*10+X

>>385813853
Because it teaches and solidifies a method of thinking that appeals to even the stupidest of kids. Common core and public schools in general are an attempt (keyword, attempt) to teach things in the simplest way for anyone to understand. Unless you're a brainlet you should understand what's going on on the right, especially if it's explained, regardless if it took longer or not.

>>385812112

What's worse is that you can tell what they're trying to do- explain the math behind the math, but it all fails fundamentally cause what they're teaching is some basic shit. Honestly, I just learned things the old fashioned way and I kinda figured out the reasoning behind it, ie the new method, much later.

>>385814031
I understand what's going on. It's just pointless.

uh what? if it's not about everyday use then why is it only useful for smaller numbers? i also use the word useful very ironically.

>>385813560
because in estimations you round values up or down accordingly. the digit being rounded is arbitrary (usually the one before its designation like nearest thousand) so it's always ending in a 0. underestimates round down, and overestimates round up. 75 is a strange estimate because there's no decimal value being rounded.

75 is the exact answer, not an estimate. thing is the question is so poorly worded that the test/homework itself is the problem entirely.

Math apparently

>>385814687
Common core was designed so everyone, even the retards, would have to do the work and learn how to add, kids learn how to add with smaller amounts of digits and the method breaks down with larger numbers. It's a stepping stone that children are taught, they learn soon after that there's easier ways to do it, but common core provides a structure that even retarded kids can work with. Public schools are filled with retards, both kids and teachers. This is for them.

>>385810874
Common core is just teaching kids how to solve simple math problems very quickly in their head. It's how those people who can add/subtract/multiply/divide very large numbers in their head actually do it. I guess the world just wasn't ready to be taught how to be super geniuses because everyone is too fucking retarded.

>>385814951
>catering to retards
we might as well jump in the pig pen and play mud at this point since we need to lower ourselves to make sure that everyone is learning at the same pace

>>385814031
I'm in 3rd semester of my masters in thermodynamics and fluid engineering I don't understand what the fuck is happening on the right. I haven't seen common core before and the way the right is presented has no logic whatsoever.

Did they split 7 into 5 and 2, while they're adding it to 3? What is the fucking logic of it.

>>385815081
Did you go to a public school? That's essentially what you're doing. Telling your kid "good luck!" (Sometimes literally), and driving away hoping your tax dollars are enough to make Ms. Stacey care enough about your little shit in a sea of 1000 others.

>>385810483
I seriously hope there's some kind of instructions about that at the top of the sheet

>>385815167
They broke 37 into (10+10+10+2+5) and added it to 53 in small steps. It's a teaching method for children, mental math for the kids who don't figure it out themselves.

Dear Jack,
You were supposed to subtract 3 100s, 1 10, and 6 1s, but you subtracted 3 100s, and 7 10s for some dumb ass reason, probably because your mom was still taking shots of tequila with her sorority sisters while she was 6 months pregnant.

Sincerely,

>>385815185
thankfully my parents were fortunate enough to send me to a private school, and I was lucky enough to actually have teachers that gave a shit, so no, I actually got proper education

>>385814951
except it improves on nothing. when you add more steps to a process, there's more room for error. that's why this system is incredibly stupid at it's core. human beans work best with groups of values (usually less then 5 or so at most) which is why the old method is vastly superior.

>>385815071
i use the old method in my head, and did when i was a kid too. people always thought i was too fast, but you just get quicker at it the more you do it. everything is laid out nicely, and there's fewer steps involved. i don't need to add 50 + 30, then 7 + 3, and then finally adding those values. the larger the number, the more summations you have to remember. it's easy to lose track.

>>385815335
You learn common core right after normal addition, it's a stepping stone for the kids who won't figure out mental math themselves.

stepping stones aren't supposed to make things worse. it's like teaching someone the power rule without ever explaining how it was derived and why it works.

>>385811408
ahahahahahahahah nigga that's common core you idiot

The problem with common core is that writing it out defeats its purpose. It ends up looking silly and you have dozens of adults baffled.

>>385815276
Yeah, but why did they break up the 7 into 2 and 5? And more importantly, why did they add the 5 to 53 first? I could see a point in adding the 2 first, to get 55, and then add 5, as 5 is a half-ten, making it easy to count with. That step was unnecessary and counter-productive, because I don't see a difference in thought process between adding a 2 to 58 or 7 to 53.

>>385814951
Is that even true ? Old method is supposed to be retard-proof too, just line the numbers and do addition on each column, that's not rocket science. It's even easier using paper

>>385815602
You severely overestimate the modern American child, and underestimate how bitchy their parents can be.

>>385815602
old method is easier, it's just the retards that don't even try. not because they're stupid, but because they're lazy.

>>385815334
off topic but...

Ive tutored some private school kids in math and they've all been ATROCIOUS. Of course, if you're looking for tutoring you're probably not the best to begin with but even with proper education you can only lead a horse to water.

>>385815546
This literally is them teaching someone addition then explaining how it was derived and why it works.

>>385815590
Because children like 2s and 5s more than 7s and 3s, I don't know why they did 5 first either and chalk it up to the school being a public school.

>>385815602
I work with highschool graduates who legitimately don't know how to break down numbers or add without paper. I'd rather them know this than not know how to at all.

>>385815567
No. It's the normal way of doing mental calculations.

I suddenly had a very vivid memory of the day I learned long division, I think it was 3rd grade and I had no idea what I was doing

>>385815683
But if the new method is more complicated and requires more work and writing down more shit, isn't that counter-productive?

>>385815567
no, it's doing exactly what the old method does.

>>385815590
Because op's image is exaggerating common core to make it look more ridiculous than it actually is

If you wrote out how you solved 'the old method' in your head, step by step, you would be looking at something that looks almost exactly like common core. Unless you seriously imagine two numbers sitting on top of each other and subtracting them down a line. Then you might just be a retard.

Grouping numbers into 10s and 5s is how you can solve large addition/subtractions in your head without having to write anything down.

>>385816326
I think it's just that people aren't going to bother looking up shit unless it's already in front of them, and making them get out their phone to do it is already two steps more than they were ever going to do.

8-3 is 5 so there's a 5

then we have 5 - 2 but we borrowed 1 from this one already so that's 5 - 1 = 4 and 4 - 2 is 2 so that's 275

Now try doing that in your head

OR add 7 to 293 to get 300
add 268 to make it 568

You should be punished for using improper methods though.
The test is meant to test a certain skill (which is also important to learn along with basic addition) and the student demonstrated that they don't know how to do it.

You've got to make sure kids believe the right things.

I feel like the whole point of mental math is that it's something you figure out on your own after a strong understanding of the fundamentals. People think different, and develop different methods that work for them. Telling all children they have to do something only one way is taking that away from them, and ultimately does more damage than good. I feel like this is a pretty consistent downfall of utopian ideals. "If everyone just thought like I do, everything would be perfect!"

Common Core Math isn't a horrendous idea in and of itself, but it has issues with breadth without depth (so many different number sense concepts that most of your class has no hope of learning them properly)

It also has strong issues with assessment because Different students find different methods easier or harder. It would be one thing to say "show 3 ways to do this multiplication problem out of 10", but what you see instead is "Use method 10 specifically, being able to get the correct answer with methods 1-9 doesn't count". Students are forced to use a single specific method on a per problem basis and are punished if they suck at that method but could easily do the problem another way.

>>385817439

Actually, that's the only reason for this change.

In the era of pocket calculators, there's no need for written math. How many situations are you going to have where you have a paper and pencil and need to do math but don't have your phone on you?

Ultimately, they've realized that the only time you're going to do math is either a) when you have a calculator, or b) when you just need to do a quick computation in your head and can't be bothered to pull your phone out of your pocket.

You can do that for their individual success, sure, that's what good teachers used to do (and still do to some extent) via UDL. You teach a few methods to the class, you teach alternate methods to the students specifically struggling with those original methods and everyone sticks to their strengths come your assessments during the school year.

However, a modern teacher is bound to tie their curriculum to Common Core standards such that everyone is supposed to be able to use every method, and if you don't practice that and let your kids fail the fuck out of the state test then your head is on the chopping block.

Common core seems like a great idea. It's teaching brainlets the aspects of thinking like those who score high on the IQ test. They learn pattern recognition, logic, grouping, relationships between numbers. It teaches them to think abstractly but also logically, which is also a trait of high iq peoples. This type of thinking of separating a number into separate groups would be similar to a highschool brainlet imagining a transition of a shape on a graph instead of using the formula. Breaking a value into parts instead of just relying on the formula. Of course, the only terrible part is that those who recognize the formula but are also able to think abstractly will be held back from their potential. But on the contrary, the ones who were always deemed smart or succesful either had the passion to learn or the passion of their parents, so it's not like the lazy geniuses would be affected in either way. Common core seems like it's teaching kids how to think outside the box instead of relying on formulas before it's too late when they reach high school and realize they don't understand how the formula got there in the first place. It's teaching kids critical thinking before they reach high school or middle school or whatever country you're from.

I'm not saying I think you are wrong but I'd like to hear more about your reasoning behind this one.

>>385819706
>Control is necessary. Always has been. Look at the countries where the government controls who can have a gun

I thought every country has gun-control, even US. No country that I know of can a person without a licence buy LEGALLY a gun, and in no country that I know of can you get a weapon licence if you have violent criminal record. Every weapon is registered and written to a specific owner. That is gun control.

The fact that there are thousands of un-registered firearms around isn't the result of normal people being allowed to own guns. Most of illegal weapons in US an EU came from South America, middle-east, Balkan and ex-soviet warehouses and from Africa.

>>385808694
>drop rates
A bit vague to throw that around, the way it can work out in a game can literally range from being crack cocaine-addictive to snare players or make them pay microtransactions or whatnot, to being an efficient and innocuous way to randomize loot (or anything) a bit, without which it'd be mostly or entirely static.

>>385818995
Do they even teach factorials in US high schools?

Any type of third-person cover mechanics (particularly sticky cover and cover-to-cover-sonic'ing but really the whole thing in general) although I don't see how they were ever meant to be fun over just making games easier, duller and slower. But to each their own.

>>385821270
As far as I know, there's no such thing as a gun license in the US. There's supposed to be a background check and a waiting period, but those differ on a state-by-state basis, just like what guns and gun accessories are legal to purchase and own.

>>385808694

This isn't how it works in the US. If you don't buy it in a store then legally none of these things apply to you.

>>385821625
Exactly, the only guns I have that the government knows about are the store bought ones. Sadly I lost those in a tragic boating accident so they know I don't have them anymore.

It's easier and safer to kill a an unarmed man with a knife than it's to shoot a man with a gun. You can kill tens of unarmed people with a knife, but guns are loud, and the stakes are much higher for the shooter. The fact that the UK IS in a terror emergency but the citizens aren't allowed to defend themselves is ridiculous.
