I like the fact that common core is not 100% focused on making sure that 12 year old child can multiply one digit numbers. Imagine where your kid would be if all she had to do is meet pre-ccm standard of good enough?[/quote]WTF? 12 years old multiplying one digit? My 6 year old kid started learning simple 1s, 10s, 100s multiplication and division at the end of his 1st grade school year. You must be joking, right?[/quote]
No. Multiplication of 2 digits is implied by end of third grade. At least it was in our district. Or maybe I just wasn’t paying attention what was actually taught in school since I sort have have our own enrichment at home and at Chinese school (which in itself has issues..)
In public schools, if you are lucky the teacher will try to break the students up into different levels depending on ability. If you are unlucky, the teach won’t and the same material will be taught and your kid might end up being bored.
