For all you dummies that can't understand simple "common core" math
here's an example.

Agree! I'm so glad we homeschool and bypass this kind of nonsense.

Make sure we have a "Clean Up Team" on standby when MR2 gets here.
It's gonna get messy.

Looks like they are being taught to make change at McDonald's or Wal-Mart.

Looking at the picture of the new math you posted I found myself thinking, why not just bypass 15 and add 8 to the 12 to get to 20 and skip going to 30 and just go directly to 32 by adding 12, but then I thought, why do all of that when you can just add 20.
I was first introduced to this new math a few years ago when I tried to help my kids with their homework. I was always pretty good at math but when they showed me this, I asked why go through all that trouble when this other way is much easier? They said this is the way the teacher wants us to do it. Try as I might I can't get them to do it any other way, much less do any math in their head, or even stop counting with their fingers. Don't know if that's a biproduct of this new math or if my kids are just really bad at math.
