Ever Wondered Why People Under 30 Are So Stupid? Here’s a Clue...

Nah anyone who works customer service can tell you it's people of all ages.

I would have jumped out of a window with that kind of teacher.

It’s actually smart and it’s an easy way to do math in your head. If someone asks what’s 177 x 25, you multiply the 100 first, that’s 2500. Easy. We know 8 quarters is $2.00, so 70 times 25 is 1750. Then do it again but take away a decimal so it’s 175. All together its 4,425.

Exactly....this is how they taught to multiple back in the day.

shyt schoolhouse rock taught kids this in the 80s.

We are truly in a time where dumbing down people is accepted.

I sucked at math growing up so I had to come up with prison type solutions to understand things My teachers marked up my exams in red for not showing my work. Twenty years later it’s called “common core math”.

The 2nd one is faster but the first one explains what you are doing more. Teaching just to find answers is stupid in the age of computers

the 1st one is doing the same thing... granted you already know the base times table........

at the juelzing in here.

The thing is the table multiplication is similar to the cross-multiplication you do once you get to college level math and science.

I didn't learn to do basic math like that, but it might give people a better framework to understand higher level math.

I don't know why people are acting like times tables are inherently better. Times tables are memorization, they don't teach you the base principles of math and why the answer is the answer.

I thought you were going to post something like this. How the fukk do you make it all the way through school and not know what a goddamn vowel is?!?:

But you are breaking it down more. Really with everyone having a smartphone now days you dont need to know how to do math fast you need to understand the principles and what you are doing more.

the explanation is too much and it's wasting time for the kids
you don't need double digit factors to understand the concept of multiplication
if students are just memorizing, then that's the fault of lazy, inept teachers

I used to get in trouble cuz I didn’t know how to solve problems by the dumbass ways the school wanted me to

I could figure out that problem in 2 seconds just by doing 350 (35x10) + 70 (35x2)

 

[SATAN]

I just did it in my head

35 x 12

350+70=420

I can't explain it but it just makes the most sense to me

 

[WaveWhisperer]

I cant maff
