[@GushOnline]

This is what I think they want. On the left there are 8 black dots in the squares and 9 grey dots under it. They want you to take 2 of the grey dots and put it in the squares to make that 10, then you have 7 grey dots left. So, I think the answer they are looking for is 8 + 2 + 7. But I’m not sure. I saw someone else say it should be 10 + 5 + 2. Which if you look at the dots on the right and you have the group of ten then the line of five and the line of two under it. So, if they are teaching kids to group the numbers that way 10 + 5 + 2 would be the answer. I think it’s sort of like teaching math with an abacus. They say you can count so much faster using an abacus. But I think having an actual abacus to use would make this so much easier for people to understand than trying to write it out on paper.

[@theseeker4700]

Your right AND the fact that it took a complete paragraph to explain the problem displays the real problem lol. My kid has dyscalculia and using an abacus helps so much with his math, also seeing number patterns (like creating 5's and 10's). This type of math display is great for kids who see numbers differently, but as you mentioned, on paper this is all wrong....and in print its just confusing. Just provide a completed 10 frame and ask the darn kids what else is needed to get 17...simple.

[@GushOnline]

@ I took a math history class in college where we learned to use an abacus. I remember thinking, math would have been so much easier as a kid if I had learned on an abacus.

[@mayberryfiya3528]

[@gingercake0907]

The problem back in the day was teaching children to memorize addition, subtraction, multiplication and division tables without explaining the vocabulary. This lesson deals with grouping to form a ten to add three numbers or addends. A strategy would be to determine if two of the addends joined would make a ten and then add the last addend. The student didn’t grasp the strategy. How would you rewrite this to make a ten 6+3+4?

[@mariefloyd6174]

You ain't lying, my God. This is stupid and unnecessary right here for real.

[@RtistiqSkubie]

You get the younger ones to memorize the basics and as they get older the ones who are naturally gifted with the understanding of how numbers cooperate with each other went into those fields.

It makes absolutely no sense to us, but it teaches kids to analyze and break down problems. My grandson can solve the most difficult problems by just looking at them.

No it's not.

[@willjauk]

I’m an elementary school teacher and yes, this is a strategy we have to teach students…. This looks to be about 1st grade… us old school teachers think all these new ways of teaching math are pretty cumbersome & stupid😂. Problems like these are in our curriculum and state standards, so we have to teach it!

[@victoriasmart-ajas76]

So what’s the answer?

[@willjauk]

1 answer is 8+2 (taking 2 away from 9 to get you to 10) then add 7 to get you to 17. The powers that be decided that students should be able to decompose numbers. Believe or not some students do well with these concepts, for the kiddos who struggle… the good teachers teach plain old facts as well!

[@joannamccloud]

They'd have to add a negative number but the teacher probably still would've made it wrong as it leaves no room to do. That teacher needs to explain this!!

[@bororobo3805]

I don't think negative numbers might have been introduced at this level 😂

[@honeybwn24]

The only way that this could work using the concept is the answer would need to be 10+5+2. Negative numbers wouldn't have been introduced yet.

[@yrb5512]

By George I think you solved it! Why are they doing this to children??? We as adults are struggling 😂😂 ​@honeybwn24

[@niyahn9590]

It's fill in the ten frame, which is 10, + 7 more, 2 from the number 9 plus the remaining. It's a method to help students use ten as the number then count on. But students do get very confused.. there are no negative numbers in 1st grade math.

[@VonKappallot]

That paper gone turned in the same exact way ir was given to me. No answer, no name, no date, not even tiniest of a scribble mark

[@jordancraig0120]

😂😂😂 8+9-7 =10 it's the only way to get 10

[@dawnravenel2473]

yes, I thought so as well, but then I saw they both had plus signs, this stuff is cra cra, I once tried to help my nephew do some math problems the old school way, he was like, nope Auntie they want us to do it a different way. I was like , nothing was wrong with it in the first place, they change it now it makes no sense. We the village must step in, and help our babies, the school system has failed too many times, especially when it comes to history, now they are doing it with math. Lord help us and or babies.

[@Cogic]

I put 5+3+2 🤦‍♂️

[@jordancraig0120]

@dawnravenel2473 this new math is definitely cra cra. And they wonder y all these kids are confused

[@vwilson6673]

That’s what I thought too! 8+9+ -7=10. F them dots, would’ve threw me all the way off😂

[@honeybree03]

8+2+7 Or 7+1+9 The 10 is the [8+2] or [9+1] It's not asking you to make the answer 10. It's asking you to find a number 10 in this addition sentence to make adding the total simpler. Easier to add 7 to 10 and know that's 17 than it is to add 8+9 in your head. It's teaching how to break the numbers down. Some people do it like this in their heads. This is teaching people how to do that mental math on paper.

[@joygee6982]

This gives a whole new meaning to an ignorant teacher😅😂

[@2003artist]

No, the teacher is not ignorant; you just cannot read a simple picture. READ THE PICTURE!

[@janedough6410]

It's mentally switching from one type of learning to the next. Some are visual, others are not. It's not simple for some when they learn/ed differently. Teachers just following district orders/curriculum.

[@jonathanwilliams7195]

8+9=17 10+5+2=17

[@jonathanwilliams7195]

It says write a way to make a 10 to solve 8+9 not. Find a way to make 10 from 8+9. It’s one of those word comprehension math problems

[@brandontrammel4581]

You're correct

[@satwilliams]

​@@jonathanwilliams7195 My goodness, thank you. The ten spelled out instead of being a 10 threw me off. 😅

[@ronicasmith3956]

8+2=10 then +7=17

[@ronicasmith3956]

The 8 needs 2 more to make 10. It gets the 2 from the 9 to make the 10 then you add the left over 7 to get 17. It is ridiculous but this is what they doing. Also they are not failing or leaving kid behind(getting left back)anymore

[@lcroutch4611]

The comments!🤣🤣🤣🤣 I agree though

[@sagittariusque8932]

This must be from that daycare center 😂😂

[@adaboy4z]

Yep my daughter brought that home in Elementary we asked the teacher, How is this going to help her in life every day? Where is the math we used in the 80's?

[@shanellwhite1516]

Lol! My child is already homeschooled. This is our second year.

[@Bossdealingz]

Showed this to my teacher..they had to take his ass to the loony bin 😅

[@TheUnderdogMinistry]

The picture shows how to make the result, 17 an equation that has ten in it. 8+9 is 10+ 7 I think?🤔 I hope otherwise this is evidence math teachers need English too😂

[@brandontrammel4581]

You're mostly correct. It would be 10+5+2 because they have three spaces but you're correct. Also you're correct about the weird wording.

[@Designsbyyvonne]

It needs to be stopped

[@comic_book_guy]

I still don’t understand. I’m sending my 7 year old soon to you for homework help next week

[@MsBeyonce06]

This is what I thought also. They want you to get to a sum of 17. 10+5+2 =17

[@erhar5595]

@@brandontrammel4581 Thank you. I get it now. Still.....Why

[@tracihead1735]

The thought is to “borrow” 1 from 8 to make 9 a 10 and then add the 7 to create 17. When we (I am 53) were in school we learned the whole number like whole words. Now they are seeking to create patterns (like the rhythm of counting by 2’s, 5’s, and 10’s) for students to count quicker and without using fingers. The concept is to find more than one way to arrive at an answer when all children don’t think the same… signed former math teacher.

[@smcdade4577]

Thank you for the detailed explanation! It is surely a new way of thinking!!!😂😂😂

[@donelltarver7371]

I went with 10+3+4= 17 Old school is the best school!! 😂😂😂

[@crtnyp]

Is this considered common core math? My kid was taught this way and it seemed so convoluted and complicated.

[@patrinapelton-smith1942]

​@@crtnypit is way too complicated. There are easier methods.

[@chab1rd155]

If you are arriving at the same answer, WHY teach new methods? Ridiculous in my opinion! 🙄

[@Luna-sz9uq]

We are at a point where we are unable to help our kids with homework. It gets worse after 4th grade. Very frustrating! It’s all about teaching the way the state exam vendor says it should be taught. 🤦🏻‍♀️

[@janedough6410]

Actually it's easier. At least a parent can revert to how they were taught.... and help (if they remember).
