Common core math problems ..

[Wyatt earp]

Question 1:

Let x be number of cups of food Rusty eats.

Answer: Midnight eats |4 - x| more or fewer cups of food than does Rusty.​

Question 2:

Let x be the quantity of coins Erica bought.
Given/premise: Erica had 6 coins when she went to the coin show.
Assumption: Erica did not sell any of her coins.

Answer: Erica now has 6 + x coins.
​

Why did I use absolute value for the first equation and not for the second? Simply to illustrate a different way of handling the answer to the problem.

The fact that the questions, as illustrated, do not provide enough information to yield a numeric answer does not mean there is no way to answer the questions.

At least you tried to solve it so Midnight is a fat dog and rusty died of starvation ?


So the answer is


Death?????


Answer: Erica now has 6 + x coins.

I highly doubt a 1st grade teacher would take the answer as

6 + × coins

Don't know the answer?

It's very cool and a good idea to give kids the confidence to think about numbers, not just add/subtract/multiply/divide them by rote.

Both of these word problems help kids identify necessary information to solve a problem. There's nothing wrong with that.

identify necessary information? You mean like asking the teacher to fill in all the holes?

No I mean like figuring out for themselves that they don't have enough information to answer the question.

Do you think that was on purpose?

We had common core in Morocco so did most countries, and we scored always higher than american students....even when we came here and we took math, the average of us scored A+ easily, so did so many of my friends from Asia and Europe while american students did struggle. Is that right path to get students interested in math and encourage more to pursue higher math.

American students are trained to be mindless Democrats, so beating them in math is no big deal

This isn't math it's word scramble ...like this one, are teachers trying to teach children how to lie?


Yes officer I had 8 beers + 5 beers so that equals 10 beers

If that were my kid Id go to the school and give the teacher a Sonny Corleone Garbage can lid beating

"You common core my kid again, I'll kill ya"

I wonder if school administrators know kids will never use long hand arthimitic in there life's after school, they know they will just use calculators and computers ...so are they thinking it's useless to teach math nowadays and they just want them to make stuff up to get an answer?

You think Morocco would want to teach real math because most of the students will work in the casinos being black jack dealers and stuff.


Lol

 

[Two Thumbs]

first one can't be answered b/c we don't know how much Rusty eats.


shitty trick question for a 5 y/o

Come on someone here at USMB can help me figure out my first grade home work...



What's the answer to these two simple common core math questions?

The second one is; More than 6, unless she used her coins to buy them, in which case it can't be known.


what awful person thought these questions were ok for little kids.

Or that answer could be

3.2 million dollars


On her way there she suckered a kindergartener to give up his Wagner base ball card for 6 coins...lol

Off topic but interesting story they used to put baseball cards in cigarette packs....they only produced like a 100 of his.

 

[LoneLaugher]

Fake.

 

[Two Thumbs]

Fake.

so you can't figure out the answers.

poor guy, with your public school education you still can't do grade school word problems.

What is it with People? Always crying “our kids are smart enough to keep up!” . So they raise the standards and it’s “my stupid kid can’t keep up!l”

Make up your mind !

 

[Wyatt earp]

Fake.

Prove its fake it looks real to me

First question:

If “same amount” refers to Midnight's daily amount, then Rusty eats the same as Midnight.
If “same amount” refers to Midnight's weekly amount, then Rusty eats 28 cups a day.
If “same amount” refers to Rusty eating a constant amount. Then there is not enough information.

Second question:

Assume Erica does not use any coins in her collection to buy more.
In predicate calculus “some” means at least one.
Informally “some” means at least two.
Assume informal usage. Erica will have at least 8 coins.

How is it they are raising standards with gibberish like this?


Where is 8+6=14

So they are teaching math before Isaac Newton and Gottfried Leibniz, is that what you are trying to say?

FIrst off I looked up the questions, and they were 3rd grade math questions, and of course not what you posted.


George’s cat, Midnight, eats 28 cups of food in one week. Midnight eats the same amount each day. In one day, how many cups does the cat eat?
