Re: Update I was wrong! Can anyone help me out with a math problem

My son is in 1st grade and they make 10's boxes. So I think he's learning it as:
26+8=
[10][10][6] + 8
then you fill in the rest of the 10 box that has 6 in it already by adding 4 more, then cross off 4 from the 8
[10][10][6+4] + [8-4]
[10][10][10] + [4]
30+4=34
yeah that's what I was suggesting.
Make sense to me. Just the terminology lost me at first, but the concept seems simple enough.
isn't this considered singapore method? when they do it visually with boxes? my nephew is learning singapore method math

Re: Update I was wrong! Can anyone help me out with a math problem
Sorry but my son doesnt need to learn algebra in first grade, he needs to learn simple addition. I shouldnt have to spend the next 11 years RE-learning how to do math.

Re: Update I was wrong! Can anyone help me out with a math problem
Who was the idiot that thought up this way of teaching math?

Re: Update I was wrong! Can anyone help me out with a math problem
It seems like it works when they are young. My son came home from school yesterday super proud because he asked for EXTRA math homework because his regular math homework was "too easy". 
Maybe it's like learning an instrument or language??? If you learn it before a certain age it's easy but if you try to figure it out as an adult it's almost impossible.

Re: Update I was wrong! Can anyone help me out with a math problem
It looks like this is Pearsons. (which isnt my favorite way of teaching math) Since they dont send the kids home with the text books its sometimes confusing trying to figure out what they are asking exactly.
I'm not sure what district your student is in, but if by chance its Sachem, they sent each of the kids home with a username and password to Pearson's site for each grade level.
On the site, is an instructional video and step by step instructions for completing each section. I've used the site many times this year to figure out the lessons. Maybe you can ask the parents of the student you are tutoring for access to his/her site. Maybe say that you would like to print out some of the practices to work on with your student.
Like a previous poster said, i dont mind them teaching the kids a different way of learning math; what i do mind is that the terms we learned are different than what we learned....so trying to figure out what is being asked can be difficult.

Just came back from tutoring, I was wrong. He said it is like this...
26+8
20+6+8
Then why does it say break apart the ones to make ten? I guess we took the ones out of the 26 so take away 6 ones to make it two tens...20...then add the 20 with the 6 we took away before to the 8?
this is exactly how I saw it... seems very easy this way.

so if we are breaking it out into tens (or rounding one of the #s to a 10) don't they still need traditional methods to add the 6+8?

Math facts to 20 are supposed to be "known" (aka memorized)
