The wording is the problem. The common core method (breaking things into easier units) is how smart people tend to do simple math. But elementary school teachers usually don't understand it so they just confuse kids more.

>> No.9979038

This. People give common core a lot of unnecessary shit because they either don't understand it or because its different from how they learned, so therefor must be worse.

Common core is fine when taught competently, and grouping based on tens and hundreds is how any skilled person handles mental arithmetic.

Common core helps you understand why mathematical tautologies are the way they are. Instead of memorizing, you'll understand the process. When later the kid is going to be doing lots of integrals for example, it's important for the kid to understand how to break up the equation.

American education seems bad on a worldwide ranking because its all inclusive of all American racial groups. if you isolate European diaspora, the educational achievement is exactly the same as Europe. Asians bring performance up. Latinos bring average performance down. Blacks are a huge anchor on the average performance.

Then add in a "racism" accusation or two against teachers or administrators for trying to get Black students to conform their behavior in the classroom to not detract from the rest of the students.

Fixing American education is simple. Less Blacks and Hispanics, or more Asians and Whites.

I still think the common core way (from what I've seen) us daft but in this particular instance it's unfair to blame 'CC'.

The children are being taught how to break up larger numbers to make 'inbetween' numbers in their calculations. For this question, maybe there was a context we are not being shown. In any case, the kid has been 'taught' to make X as an intermediary when adding Y and Z together. The wording of the question is not particularly ambiguous if this is the case.

Here's how I interpreted the question, but in a format that isn't vague AF like the original question.

n = (x + y) - z
Let x = 8, y = 5. Find a value for z which makes n = 10.

So yeah it's pretty much exactly what you said, I just skipped some steps because #yolo.

Well not exactly what you said, but if the common core system is going to use retard wording like that, I would explain to the students during class how to set up something like this. IRL a client/customer is going to ask you to do something to achieve result n = whatever. Knowing how to create an equation which can calculate any value of n that the client wants is more important. Might as well start teaching kids how functions and variables work, assuming they make it to college they are gonna have to do the exact same thing.

Bullshit for high school level. Most programs will make you take at least up to Real Analysis. Mines requires as many classes as the "pure" math concentration minus Real Analysis 2.

I get it, but it’s absolutely retarded. What purpose does this problem have?

>> No.9985268

>>9980118
Easy.

Left is pretty hidden, but thinking outside the box BTFO's it. Look diagonally (lower-left to top-right directions). There are three paths. Note that the diagonals "wrap around".

The first through the middle just has a pattern of the colors changing position as they move down the blocks.

The diagonal starting with row 1, column 1 has the blocks rotating too. The colors rotate right to left, while the blocks rotate left to right.

Following the pattern, look at the diagonal starting at row 2, column 1. The blocks rotate up, while the colors rotate down. This yields that the missing piece is the third column of the second row of answers.

The one on the right is EZPZ. Dots inside the circle are negative, dots outside the circle are positive. The number of dots in the third column of each row equals the sum of the first two rows. This pattern continues if you consider columns. So the answer is the empty circle.

I graduated HS before common core was implemented and I've had no problem breaking up equations/doing university level mathematics. I actually enjoy university level math way more than I ever did back in high school to be honest, as it's less monotonous than high school math classes .No matter what the American public school system tries, they're still gonna get shit-tier results because there are so many retards, including some of the teachers. Retards teaching retards doesn't result in students with higher proficiency in math, or any subject for that matter.

>Maybe it has something to do with "ghetto culture"

Agree. The high school I went to was really good, like ranked #2 in the state, so we had very few "ghetto culture" people. Everyone worked hard and got stuff done, though most of the ghetto idiots dropped out by junior year. Hell, the ghetto idiots weren't even poor, many came from middle to upper middle class families.

I went to a somewhat ghetto school, but even the ghetto students were smart. They all graduated and are in college with good grades in STEM and are gang bangers (i still talk to them). Your school just has shit teachers with rich students.

I went to a high school that is consistenly within top5 in the quadrant of my state. We had 13 perfect ACTs in my year and the average was a 29 (national average is a 22). We had 1 pregnant drop out, a total of 5 black people in my year and 0 asians at time of graduation (we had 3 but they all left high school 2 years early).

I would estimate 80% of my classmates went into meme business degrees. And of that 80%, 60% of them went to nationally unranked mid-size universities, partied the whole time and are now working mid-level management and marketing jobs. Really sad to see and not that much better than if they had just dropped out.

Your life is a meme.
CS is an interesting interdisciplinary major. But most universities don't know how to teach it and brainlet students themselves preasure it to reduce actual CS and focus on practice and programming. Which is pointless because university will never teach you enough skills to be valuable at job market and you have to self-study technologies you want to use professionally.

It depends on what you expect from it. If you want it for a paper and good job then focus on self-study. If you want theory and actual CS, you'll have to look for proper university. If you don't know what you want and just went for CS for no good reason then your life is a meme.

For the lgrey, dgrey and black blocks there's a pattern, 1 2 3, 2 2 3, 1 1 3 (in different orders)
So for lgrey for example rows and columns are
1 2 3
3 2 2
1 3 (1)
Dgrey
2 3 2
1 1 3
3 1 (2)
Black
3 1 1
2 3 1
2 2 3

White has a different pattern, (j)oined and (s)plit.
j j s
s s s
s j (s)

If you pick bottom second from right it's not symmetrical, you don't have a vertical set of all three split.

what's cringy about this is how condescending the teacher's correction is. when the child says "you can not make", it's clear that the child isn't referring to the teacher's method. the child is correct in this sense. the teacher then ignores this and, like a complete cunt, calls the child wrong. the child perhaps should have known what the teacher meant by "make", but that still doesn't justify the teacher's equally semantic autism
