The Caleb Bonham Show: Common Core Math

ANTTHING democrats/liberals propose or have proposed or enforced, mandated, put into law has been idiocy & destructive.

Surely anyone with any sense wouldn't add to next 5 then next 10 then to appropriate ten then to number
surely they would just add to same units then add the same tens, ie:
12 + 0 = 12 (or just skip units because they're already equal)
12 + 20 = 32
answer = 0 + 20 = 20

..which would basically just be the same digit by digit method as the old way just written differently.

The whole idea of common core is for the students to actually understand the concepts and not just simply memorize a series of procedures.  I can definitely see the logic in that!  However, the math in this video looks like more procedure memory than ever before!!!!

Don't know what billion dollar companies have money to lose if common core is put into place because all the bullshit spread around. Here are the real facts: Education in America needs a overhaul. Students just aren't ready for college level courses. This leads to the existence of for-profit colleges.

Common core is new. It has it's issues. If we embrace it, and get the issues fixed. We can create a platform that teach people how to not only remember things, but to teach themselves(Technology is evolving every day, you need to constantly learn new things in a high pay job)

 Right now education is kind of like a whiteboard. You fill it up as much as you can. Then you take a exam. After the exam you erase the whiteboard to fit new material. None of the information is retained.

Teachers will still have control over the material. Obama Satan won't be standing behind every teacher telling them what to do.

If we get a better education system down. Good things will happen. But, after seeing something like AP History being taken out because of political reasons. I can't really say the future is bright.

This method of teaching subtraction has NOTHING to do with Common Core State Standards. This method is part of a curriculum that the state(s) are using to teach to the standards. They were not developed by the same people that developed the CCS. Check out this video particularly where it explains  the learning part near the end.

What happened to KISS? Is this really faster if you understand the method?

I am sorry, but as a college student studying differential equations and advanced calculus this is utter non-sense.

This is the point where two A+ parents have their kids come home from school and they look at their kid's math homework and they are like "whaaaaaa...?".

Seriously? What a waste of extra steps. I know this was the brain child of a PHD but really? I think they need to re-look at their math degree.

Common Core is NOT curriculum, it's standards.

War is peace! Freedom is slavery! Ignorance is strength!

What is this....? I don't even...

As a child I substracted a 2 from both to make 30 - 10 = 20. But this, this is just dogshit.

Common Core does include the standard algorithms. Most Americans were taught to compute, NOT to solve problems. Teach an efficient algorithm but don't explain it. Create generations of confused adults who can't apply what they learned to real problems not in standard form..

Common Core = fucking stupidty !!!!

This is New Math, Crystal Math.

poor kids

Thank God for Trump! Bye Bye commie core!

I mean, it gets you the correct answer with a bunch of extra steps. Really only seems useful for teaching that addition and subtraction are opposites to each other. If a kid is having trouble understanding the normal way with place holders, use this, but if I were in charge of teaching, this would be a last resort.

our world is in a state of idiocy our country is the top idiots being the government starting with the government on down

I’m a sophomore and if common core is in the SAT I’m basically screwed for life. Thanks Obama

Two men set off to go to the store from the same starting point on foot, man one says it's a straight shot so walks 15 minutes to get there with no problem, man two realises that it is a straight shot but what if I go through the woods in the creek, down into some rocky terrain. effectively making a half circle coming behind the store walking around to the front and going in, it takes the man and hour there and an hour back mean while the first guy made it there and back in 30 minutes, man one asks man two what took you so long man two replies "oh I had an adventure through the woods over a creek etc. Well to this man one replied how adventurous does getting a loaf of bread need to be?

We hired tutors with my last two kids (now grown adults) just to get them up to speed with math. Common Core only teaches confusion and it's deliberate. I'm an electrical engineer and I've noticed new engineers with common core in-doctrine tend to get caught up in the "what ifs" and have a problem completing drawings for submittal. They just don't seem confident because there are more questions than answers. This is a great example why.

Is this for real?

Basic arithmetic should not be this complicated because it is the foundation of higher math which is more complicated. The Chinese, Koreans, and Japanese do not teach basic math like this. In fact, they memorize the multiplication table so that it becomes automatic just like addition, subtraction, and division. Once it is automatic, just like remember the sounds of the alphabet, they can easily proceed to a more mathematically complex problem.

If you want to do it in your head, with 32-12, the two 2's cancel each other out leaving 30-10 which is then simpler. My guess is they are teaching it in a way where you can divide a problem down into easier to handle chunks, possibly in order to do it in your head. My guess is you're giving an extreme example without really explaining the process, I can't honestly make a judgment on it without more facts. I know I have come up with methods to do math in my head. I will often say, round to the nearest 10s, so with 32 - 12, I might round the 12 down to 10, then do 32 - 10 is easy in your head, that's 22, then you can subtract the 2 you eliminated earlier equally as easy. If it was like 32 - 27, I would round the 27 up in my head to 30 (up by 3), which leaves 32 - 30, which is super easy, that leaves 2, then you can add the 3 back which is equally as easy, that makes the result 5.

I like to try and add up groceries when shopping in a similar way, except I don't go for accuracy, I will use a method my mother taught me in the 1970s, round to the nearest dollar. It the price is above 0.50, you round up to the next dollar. If it is 49 cents or below, you round down. So $2.75 + $5.25 in my head is $3 + $5, or $8, which in this case is exact. When I get to the cash, my total in my head is usually within $1 from the exact amount.

Is this just a way to make teachers seem smarter than their students’ parents so the teachers can take some kind of control away from the parents? Might be a conspiracy theory that I accept

did anyone else test their headphones after watching this?

I'm an Electrical Engineer with an MSEE degree and I've designed satellites for over 15 years. I work with some of the most technologically advanced systems in the world and they must work flawlessly. I love math and it's a good thing I do because my job requires a high level of mathematical abilities which are applied on a daily basis. I assure you that NO ONE uses this idiotic "common core" math bullsh** in my field. If they did, they wouldn't have a job for long.

so this is why i can't use any of my 17 years of knowledge to help my 12 year old brother with his math homework. seems legit.

My son is in first grade now and I am finally seeing some of this myself for the first time. It’s odd in that you spend more time and effort into figuring how to come to the conclusion than coming to the conclusion itself.

KISS= keep it simple stupid!
Common core = stupid

KISS -- Keep it Simple Stupid

"In a corporatist nation, the primary things that are attacked, captured, enslaved and ultimately destroyed are freedom and consciousness. A human becomes a subhuman, and the spontaneity of the inherently poetical human consciousness is transformed into "television consciousness." There is no place that this is better illustrated than in the hijacking of the education system in America by the corporatists."- Jeffrey Grupp, Corporatism: The Secret Government of the New World Order, 2007.

Why would anyone start by using 12 + 3 = 15 ... ??? This entire system doesn't make sense and the children know it. That's why they can't get it, and neither do the parents. Bill Gates is a globalist and wants to destroy our children's ability to logically reason and for children to get upset, feel inept and zone out of learning all together. There is a purpose for him and his crony globalists to give a new way of learning (not learning). Florida has just gotten rid of Common Core and every other state must do the same for the sake of the children.

I was good at math until they introduced common core in 7th grade 6 years ago. Then my math grade have severely dropped to just passing all the way until 10th grade. These political stunts have consequences!

Lol omg

educators developed common core math but I am not sure why. did they find a flaw in the way we figure things mathematically? we work on issues to resolve them. you fix problems by simplifying them (if possible). these educators made math harder, and take longer. why?

Take back the education system and jail everyone that backed common core. The communists are deeply embedded. Happy 3/24/19 , NO COLLUSION DAY !

Is it useful on bigger more complicated numbers?

Not approved!
Lets make America dumber.
Like the guy said in the video,
"How did you come up with those numbers?"
I'm very good at math but that was just plain stupid. Do I just come up with random numbers that add up to 20? Can I use all ones?

There are moments where "adding to" the target number is more useful, but I certainly won't teach a 'one method fits all' approach to mathematics.

e.g.
180 - 44 (one-hundred-eighty minus forty-four)

44 -> 50 ; Needs 6 more
50 -> 80 ; Needs 30 more
80 -> 180 ; Needs 100 more

180 - 44 = 136 without the need to 'carry/borrow' numbers


Alternatively you can do the following:
180 - 40 = 140
140 - 4 = 136

They don’t teach this. Where do they do this, I went to school in new york, we do the simple way

RIP To the left ears of anyone who was wearing headphones.

This is stupid.

- Haha... The music never used to drown out the talking in this video... I guess this is just another new way to limit your freedom of speech.

Since 12 already has 2 in the ones place, why wouldn't you just do it like this?

32 - 12 ->
12 + 10 = 22
22 + 10 = 32

[10 + 10] = 20 ✅
