Layniebug's math homework tonight:

And my response:

I dug deep into my brain for at least 10 minutes trying to figure out what was wanted, which by my calculation was 9 minutes and 53 seconds too long, considering it is second grade math. I'm so done playing their games.

What in the fuck was that?

[bill herian]

You were so stewed you broke through the paper with the pencil.

But yea, I guess I didn't learn that either.

"Explain how you know your number is greater than 246"

[one2many]

thank goodness the school year is about over. maybe 3rd grade math will be more your speed
i read that. ill take a F on it
i couldnt even see where i was supposed to write my name..glad mine is graduating.she will be on her own unless she decides to go to culinary school

[Redbeard]

Holy. Crap.

[gila-river]

So what's the word you erased and replaced with "assignment" ?

[assateague]

That was where I snatched the paper from Layniebug, and slammed it on the counter to write my note, but it ended up in some water from the sink. Went the pencil went through, I darn near threw the whole thing in the trash.

I'm sure a.b will be along shortly to explain it to you.

Common Core cocksuckers have invaded Maryland! That is some fucked up shit.
If my kids were still in school, I'd probably be in jail by now for killing the entire teaching staff.
Communist motherfuckers running today's schools!!!!

He hasn't chimed in yet, so I'm figuring that means he has no fucking clue what they wanted, either. Which speaks volumes.

I thought about this and...
You must use at least one but not one of each shape for a total of twelve shapes.

The shapes:
The big square is 100
The tall rectangle is 10
The small square is 1

Now make the smallest number using twelve shapes. Two big squares minimum. Ten left...
They use four rectangles and six small squares.
Why not 228?

Make that dumbfuck teacher bitch explain
WHY THE FUCK CANT IT BE 228?
Well?

Because it says they want it greater than 246. No where does it say "with the least amount"

It should be 2 big 5 medium 5 small.

It should be 2 big 5 medium 5 small.

Or any combo of 2 big and at least 5 medium and at least 1 small.

"Explain how you know the number is greater than 246".

[Eric Haynes]

"Explain how you know the number is greater than 246".

Because 100+100+10+10+10+10+10+1+1+1+1+1 > 246

You guys seem to make a big deal out of easy problems

[aunt betty]

You guys seem to make a big deal out of easy problems

You have to consider all possibilities.
228 fits the instructions yet contradicts whatever the fuck they seem to be trying to teach.

50/50 I'm right.

[Pintail]

Well, I don't see that many Harvard grads out in the swamp.

No it doesn't. They clearly say the number needs to be greater than 246.

Wtf is this

It's the same bullshit down here in NC too. There's been talk of doing away with it, but nothing in the works.

[RonE]

Wtf is this

Just an example that shows most MD public school second graders are smarter and more understanding than ourselves.

Haha clearly. I don't have a damn clue what this is asking.

[aunt betty]

I get it finally. I thought they were being sarcastic when it said the number must be more than 246. The explain how you know part is goofing me out man...
Fuck it. When I was in second grade we used "second grade pencils" fuck you. I don't need to know base ten shapes so shove it.

Mkay.

I don't think common core is helping much but come on...it ain't rocket science. I'd honestly like to know how this will all pan out in 10 years when the plan "goes into effect"

[Woody]

32-20=?

Use four different ways to solve and explain your steps.

I heard that one on the radio the other day. It is a 2nd grade math problem from common core.

[Woody]

What plan?

[assateague]

I don't think common core is helping much but come on...it ain't rocket science. I'd honestly like to know how this will all pan out in 10 years when the plan "goes into effect"

But it IS rocket science to kids who have NEVER added or subtracted 3 digit numbers for any length of time, who don't know how to borrow or carry, and who have so few practice problems at school that they have to count on their fingers to add 8+7. I'm not making that up. I know it's happening a lot of places, but there's many around here who are ready to start lynching.
