Nope.

But test times are going to be longer they will need more scratch paper, bigger problem solving areas and longer class times to understand the harder problems..

Not because of goofy ass math but because of calculators everywhere.
Plenty of high schoolers dont even know what a times table is smh.

Not at all. It’s a bunch of adults that don’t like math, so it’s not like the old way was necessarily easier or more interesting to learn.

If anything the “new” way breaks things down into smaller pieces and let’s kids see there is another way to solve a problem. It’s convoluted, but helpful to those who don’t get shortcuts

Time spent helping kids with their math homework has just gone up ten fold :francis:

I asked my homeboy in his 30s was 22+22 and he told me "i aint no math whiz".
:snoop:

Last week he asked me what does modify mean.
:snoop:
Gon tell me he not a dictionary
This complacent behavior kills me. Folks don't even care to exert a little energy to learn basic shyt that'll be all kinds of useful moving forward.

My brother brought this goofy shyt home last year. It’s not even math it’s basically just guessing what might work :hhh:

Plus this would be crazy hard with complex numbers. White folks again doing the most :pachaha:

Lol how is it guessing when it’s steps and a process involved to solve the problem? Yeah it’s a longer way but some kids get it when it’s broken down.

As more companies rely on project management, that’s exactly how it will be at work as well. Small, manageable pieces that test understanding at each step of the process instead of the overall answer.
