This is what 100-year-old Elementary school math teacher Madeline Scotto thinks about Common Core:
“How would you teach them 4 + 4? She told me you add this and subtract this and….THEY’RE MAKING IT MORE COMPLICATED as far as I’m concerned.”
“4 and 4. 8. If you’re not sure, get an egg box. There’s 4. There’s 4 more. Count them up. There’s 8.”
