HOW CHINESE STUDENTS SO FAST IN SOLVING MATH OVER AMERICAN STUDENTS

I just want to point out the Chinese student wrote faster than the American student and also relied on gimmicky tricks that don't apply under all circumstances, so while she completed the problem faster, it does not mean at all that she is a better student. The American student actually broke down the problem logically and understood it from the inside out before solving it, which is a method that when applied to other problems of a different nature does not leave her unprepared.

[@julielemoine3954]

Welcome to “Common Core” math. I had to look up KZbin videos last year to help my 2nd grader with her math. Common core is asinine! Instead of learning/memorizing the multiplication table they have MULTIPLE STEPS just to get the answers for the basics questions like 2+6=8 or 9x3=27. If they didn’t have to show their work, I’d just teach her the methods that have been around for centuries and work quite well.

[@jackallope2200]
