    I was valedictorian but I don’t help my second grade granddaughter because second grade math consists of some thing with lines and dots in squares and I have no idea what they’re doing they don’t just carry the one like normal people.

      Quick draw math. I'm currently virtual mom *teaching* it, 2nd grade. I like it. It makes sense to me, now. They do carry the one. It's referred to as a tens place (one of the long lines is a tens). I was SCARED when I 1st saw 2nd grade math hieroglyphics 😳 then I just went with the flow. 😆 Faked it till it clicked 👍

      They’re teaching for conceptual understanding instead of just having them memorize steps. It’s the best way to help them be able to connect it to what they learn in the next grade.

      All I can say is none of them seem to be able to add, subtract, multiply, or divide. but, if they’ve got the concept, good on ya. Oh, and since cursive is out they can’t read anything not in print, but who needs that other stuff anyways. Besides, they can just write words or sentences any way they like, because what was that? Spelling? Grammar? Vocabulary? What was that again? You mean you had to memorize stuff? Didn’t you have spellcheck and grammar check and a dictionary on your computer? Sometimes you didn’t have your iphone and you had to do math on paper? What was that, the dark ages?

    I homeschool my kids. This year they are in 2nd, 4th, and 7th grades. I'm good with 2nd, that's cake. 4th is tough because the teaching methods are different than when I was younger, so I'm learning along with the 4th grader how to do things differently. The 7th grader though, he's basically self-schooled because all I'm good for anymore is checking to make sure he stays on task. The big kid asks me random school questions out of the blue sometimes and I either know or we look it up and learn together.

To be fair though, and please do not take this as conceit, but I am really good at math. Math was always my favorite subject in school and I have always loved numbers in general. As an adult, I've taken it a step further. I now do taxes for a lot of my friends and family. Math is like 1% of taxes though. Taxes arer way complicated, but I've taken the time to learn and all that... Not that anyone cares, I'm just ranting while waiting for my laundry. Lol! 🙂😅😂

And my dad took that effort, to explain and find examples and did great! He always said he couldn’t teach. But he is great at explaining complex stuff. And he could ask those questions that would really help you to grasp the matter.

    • @armybear2
      @armybear2 4 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      The "new" math (aka common core") actually makes a lot of sense when you sit and think about it instead of automatically relying on what you use to. When I first saw it I was like what the heck none of this make sense and its way more complicated and unnecessary than how I learned it when I was young. Then I realized it was just different methods visualization of actual numbers to help you do mental math, and a lot of the common core math process is actually how I do the math mentally... I just could never explain it before.
      If you were to ask me to multiply whole numbers between 0 to 12 I can easily give you the answer in a heart beat because I was forced to memorize the multiplication table for it. But if you were to ask me give you the answer to 131 x 241 in 5 seconds I wouldn't be able to do it. It would take me a very long time to do it mentally. I could easily do it if you gave me a pencil because what it would look like if I had a piece of paper is this.
      241
      x131
      ______
      241
      723
      241
      ______
      31571
      And as you can see that is pretty hard to visualize mentally. The problem with the way I learned how to do math was that I wasn't actually taught how to do math or rather understand the concept of it, I was just taught memorize certain numbers and equations / tricks and barf them out on demand without any real understanding of them. In common core they teach you like 5 different ways to visualize it... some of them are better than others depending on the person. So that is why they teach you all the methods, so that you can chose which one is easiest for you down the road.
      I use to always get the right answer in math class by doing mental math pretty quickly in my head faster than other kids could get the answer, but I had no idea how express it on paper because it wasn't the "short cut" method that school wanted and they considered it the wrong way of doing math at the time... but in reality I was actually just doing one of the common core methods that are now being taught. A lot of the common core methods actually really help you to understand mathematical word problems because it helps you understand how to visualize the information that you are being told.
      My mom is like a human calculator, I can toss out any giant numbers, ask here to divide it or even square root it and she can cough out the answer in 20 seconds. But ask her a word problem and you can see her have a nervous break down. And that is because she only knows how to input numbers into formulas and barf out data. All she knows how to do is use shortcuts. But once something becomes more complicated then just inputting numbers and requires visualization and identifying different values based on context... then the shortcuts don't work anymore.

    When I was married (from 2003-2007) and had step-kids I always enjoyed helping them with their homework. And I was pretty good at it too, considering some of the interesting facts stories I told my step-son (who was the oldest and was 8 when I married his mother) occasionally got him extra credit from his teacher, which was good because he was not an enthusiastic student at times. :-D
    My favorite story was when I was helping his learn about the Revolutionary War when he was in the sixth grade. As we're discussing it he gets this sly grin on his face, and I know he's aching to be funny, so I ask him "What?" With a grin the little smart-aleck asks "Did you fight in the Revolutionary War, or were you too old?" I replied, "I'm thirty-eight, jackwagon. Not two hundred and fifty-something." He was cute. Sometimes. :-D

  • @davidstorrs

    My solution to math problems is to simplify the question where possible. For example, instead of "Bill leaves the city at 43 mph and Tom leaves going the other direction at 79 mph", I rewrite that in my head to "Bill stays in the city and Tom leaves at 43+79 = 122mph". Then I look for tricks in the question itself. For example, I once gave my Intro to Physics students the following question: I fire a bowling ball straight up; when the ball hits the ground, which of the following answers is CLOSEST to the amount of force it exerts on the earth? The possible answers are: (A) 17 kg (B) 9 (C) 12 m/s (D) 1 million newtons (E) 3 hockey pucks. The ball has a mass of 13.278 kg, a shear strength of 217.99 MPa, an initial velocity of 1.44 cm/s, and is launched with acceleration of 111.734m/s/s over 0.249s.
    The trick: Force is measured in newtons, so the answer is D without having to keep reading.

    My tip is to check out Khan Academy on-line. One of my colleagues suggested it to me when my child was struggling with math last year and it really helped. We will be using it again this year for sure. They offer instruction on many subjects at many levels and it is free. They are donor supported.

    My entire life since the age of 19 I have worked with developmentally disabled and special needs. Obviously I found my calling.... I have an autistic son and he never had this kind of Education, and my older son I let him sign out in 11th grade and take his GED so I never really helped him with any of his homework. That's probably why we get along so well today. I would never ever be able to help any of my children today.

    i got the question about Ben and Denny right. 😁
    soooo it took Dan two hours with an average speed of 79 mph to catch up. so 79x2 is 158 miles (because average speed per hour - > traveled 79 miles in one hour, it took him two hours.)
    So Benny traveled the distance of 158 mi in 3 hours. 158:3 = 52.67 mi per hour

    Do their kids go to private school? I remember taking honors classes in 7th grade, and I didn't have science questions that complicated. Honestly, those sound more like high school level questions. The 4th grade math problem is easy for adult me, but I remember doing fractions and still doing division and multiplication tables back then.

    Also, just to clarify, I’m not sure of the source of the test questions, but for the record, wolves are not being hunted to extinction. They were extirpated from most of the United States in the 19th and 20th centuries, but now gray wolf populations in the Rocky Mountains region are growing and expanding farther south and west. Many areas do not have an appropriate management plan, and therefore have such high wolf populations that they are detrimental to the ecosystem and unsupportable. While there are probably other specific locations in the world where wolves are currently being hunted to extinction, that is in no way the overall trend.

    I think the biggest mistake when doing these types of challenges. Is forgetting that the child has been through several weeks of instruction and reinforcing activities to retain this information. I think it is a credit to the teachers of old that's the retention is still working in your adult life no matter what grade you may have come across this information. The retention is amazing. I say that this counts far more as a memory game than an actual I am smart game. I would like to see how long your children can remember their earliest lessons and retain them. I think that would be a funnier challenge. Let's see if your kids can retain information as well as you.

    The question about Dan has me questioning your correct answer..... if Dan left 3 hrs before Benny and it took him 2hrs to catch up that would be a total of 5hrz driving for Dan because the problem never said he stopped driving. So you took the 158mi total traveled by Benny to catch up and divided it by 3 but in actuality it should have been divided by 5 and would have been 31.6mph. RIGHT?!

    • @CrystalMermaid6

      Danielle Galer the equation is 5X = (79 + X) *2 solve for X where X is 52.67 MPH. If Benny is 79 mph faster than Dan, that implies he travels 79 more miles per hour than Dan, so Benny’s speed is 79 + X.

    I believe the flight to London is 14 hours and 37 minutes. You did not actually say how many minutes, you just said a few... It's actually quite simple. The flight back was 298 miles per hour for 13 hours. You multiply those two numbers and that tells you how many miles it flew. You then divide the mileage by the miles per hour and that tells you how many hours. I went a step further and I converted the decimal so that I could get the exact number of minutes.

    Hi Penn, I am SO IMPRESSED by your Math Skills especially since you did NOT use a Calculator!!! 🤓
    Here are the 3 word problem solutions. FIRST REMEMBER: SPEED * TIME = DISTANCE example 70mph * 2hours = 140 miles. (GOT IT?) 1) Sam = 80mph and Benny = 42mph since going OPPOSITE add speeds = 122mph (ask Einstein why.) SO 122mph*Time = 130miles and so Time = 130/122 = 1 4/60 hours ~ 1 hour 4mins (CORRECT!) 2) Dan Distance = X mph * 5 hours = (X + 79) mph * 2 hours = Benny Distance SO 5X = 2X + 158 SO 3X = 158 SO X = 52 2/3 mph = 52.7mph (CORRECT!) just 0.1mph less 3) The SLOWER flight had to fly for a LONGER time SO (298 mph/265 mph) *13 hours = 14.6 hours ~ 14 hours 37 mins (VERY CLOSE!)
