If you are an elementary school teacher/elementary school parent or have been either can we talk for a minute?
About slash dot math.
Can someone smarter than me please explain this technique?
Taylor came home with Accelerated Math homework, which she thoroughly enjoys (so not my child), then proceeded to show me how she was taught to subtract. The slash dot way.
Erm, what happened to borrowing and carrying? Ashley and I were a bit confused. Okay, if I am totally honest the dots confused the hell out of me. The slashing I understood, but the damn dots made no sense.
I showed Taylor how I learned to subtract. Borrowing and carrying. She understood it (I think), we came to the same answer so I guess that is all that counts.
Then I slashed stuff and drew dots all over everything. She was not amused.
