Are Kids doomed with this goofy ass math?

[Kairi Irving]

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


Last week he asked me what does modify mean.

Gon tell me he not a dictionary

all is number said Pythagoras




but in all seriousness most folks dont need advance math to make it in the day to day world

Yes they are doomed with this goofy shyt, but I understand the motivation behind teaching like this. Those of us who are mathematically inclined think like this naturally. I saw the problem as (35 x 10) + (35 x 2) = (350 + 70) = 420 (shyt could be broken down even further) Took even less time than the person on the right to figure out. My problem is that schools spend all of the time teaching the method. I would prefer that teachers made sure that kids have the basic addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division skills that are integral to being successful in mathematics.
