Written by a student who has been taught with Common Core Standards
Have you been taught long division or partial quotients? Do you add and subtract numbers arithmetically, or do you use a number line to do so?
In other words, have you been taught mathematics traditionally or taught mathematics with Common Core standards?
Common Core Standards are a series of relatively recent educational standards that detail the milestones students from kindergarten to twelfth grade should reach by the end of each year of schooling. Each grade level is set with certain standards in English Language Arts and, of course, mathematics.
Due to the recency of Common Core standards, parents may find themselves puzzling over a seemingly simple fourth grade homework question in their child's math paper; these standards have not been initiated until 2010, so many parents may not even know what these standards are and what it is like to be taught with them.
This may bring parents and teachers to wonder: Are these standards effective? What is it like to be educated with these standards? What do students actually think about these standards? As a student who has been educated with Common Core math standards myself, I would like to provide a first-hand account of my experiences with common core.
