Common core math problems ..

[Wyatt earp]

Still no answer to these simple problems?

I don’t know if anyone’s answered as I’m not interested in reading through this thread, but those questions expect two answers. That’s why there are two lines for the answers. In both cases, you can make up a number to achieve the answer. As long as the numbers add up, the answer is correct. Your second example even has an answer written in already.

An acceptable answer to the first one is 1. Rusty eats 3 cups per day.

An acceptable answer to the second one is 12/6. She has 12 coins total because she bought 6.

Say what ? She goes to a coin show and now has 12 coins, how is that possible? Did she buy a 1958 penny that cost 6 coins? (As an example) that means she would only have one coin

She went to a coin show not the currency exchange.

What was the value of her coins? Did she have 6 pennys? 6 dimes?, 6 nickels? Six quarters? Six half dollars?, six Susan B. Anthony dollars?

Did she have 6 flowing half dollar worth 17 grand a piece?

LOL

You’re so fucking deranged. The value of the coins is not part of the equation. Only the quantity is. A six-year-old can grasp that concept but you can’t.

So this is all pretend liberal fantasy land here?






No wonder why you libtards are idiots.

 

[usmbguest5318]

Seperate course for what? It’s math and belongs in a math workbook. What’s the real problem here? You have a six-year-old grandchild that’s making you look like an idiot? I wouldn’t be surprised, All six-year-olds do that to you.

I don't any idea of about whom you remarked thus, but the remark itself is funny.

Knowing as I do the reasons that'd move me to add someone to my ignore list, thus why I don't know of whom you write, has a lot to do with why I find your remark funny.

Only a light weight like you would have an ignore list.

 

[Faun]

Among the other lies in the OP, I doubt if that is a first grade problem

Probably third grade

LOLOL

Even six-year-olds are too smart for you, huh? It doesn’t ask how much the coins are worth. It just asks for how many coins she bought. If she started with six coins, and she bought six more coins, she now has 12 coins. Why is that so difficult for you to understand?

<smh>

So you telling me I can go to a coin show with 6 coins in my pocket and double it?


Lmfao...



I got to stop going to casinos and stop playing the lottery..


I will just go to coin shows with a 6 grand in my pocket and leave with 12 grand


You stupid.



.

LOLOLOL

Dude, STFU already. You’re making an ass of yourself and proving to be dumber than a first-grader.

Moron.... WTF does it read that Erica used the coins in her coin collection to buy more coins for it??

It doesn’t. You’re just an abject rightard.

Erica had 6 coins in her collection. She goes and buys 6 more with money she’s saved up, i.e., money other than the 6 coins in her collection.

Erica now has 12 coins in her collection; not limited to other money in her possession.

I can’t believe how stupid you are. This thread should be memorialized as a testament to your ignorance, like Stephanie's “Operation American Spring” thread.

LOL Well, because there is, from multiple other sources, ample comic relief in my life....conversations with friends, television shows and movies, odd remarks from strangers and acquaintances, comedy acts in clubs and stadiums, etc.

OT, sort of:

I don't know if you've ever taken any "big time" professional certification exams like the bar, the CPA exam, medical board exams, etc. or perhaps the GRE, LSAT, GMAT, or other exams wherein there is an implicit assumption that the people taking the exam are "smarter (or at least more learned) than the average bear." If you have, however, you've surely noticed/learned that a key element tested in them is one's "good sense" not to inject into the question "stuff" that isn't there. Part of what's tested with such questions is the test taker's ability to recognize and focus on the specific point/topic of the question being asked/covered rather than "everything under the Sun" that's tangential to it.

I understand why that is an element tested and why it's tested in the way it is tested. It is tested-for because prescience, perspicacity and focus are important skills for any professional or graduate student. It's tested indirectly because it's inefficient to do so directly for those skills are but part of one's overall critical thinking aptitude and exhibited ability.

The thing is that one must use those skills in solving problems as well as when positing ideas. I suspect whomever it is that you're talking to has gone way, way down the "rabbit hole" with their conjecture.​

Show the whole test and we can talk

You providing partial information and then saying....aha...you can't answer.... is deceptive

Show the whole test and we can talk

Looking again at the "coin" question pictured in the OP, it's clear that the the child got "11" and "5" from somewhere other than the specific question pictured. In light of that, unlike my prior stance of noncommittal, I'm now inclined to agree with your assessment that there information given in the test and that the OP-er has not shared with us.

I don’t think there’s more to the question. These questions are designed to inspire kids to not only find the solution to simple math problems, but to also find solutions to more abstract problems.

Then why don't they have a separate course? Leave math alone and if they want to do voodoo reading problems "to make kids feel good" about giving wrong answers ...make it stand on its own?

Seperate course for what? It’s math and belongs in a math workbook. What’s the real problem here? You have a six-year-old grandchild that’s making you look like an idiot? I wouldn’t be surprised, All six-year-olds do that to you.

It doesn't teach arthimitic.


It doesn't teach kids how to think but what to think.

If you have 8 dollars in one pocket and 5 dollars in another

Can you buy something for $10 or can you only buy something that costs $13?

This would be a better more realistic common core question..


If a punk had 8 crack rocks then he had 5 how many cracks rocks does he have when you beat him up and steal them all?


Answer:


Zero

Question 1:

Let x be number of cups of food Rusty eats.

Answer: Midnight eats |4 - x| more or fewer cups of food than does Rusty.​

Question 2:

Let x be the quantity of coins Erica bought.
Given/premise: Erica had 6 coins when she went to the coin show.
Assumption: Erica did not sell any of her coins.

Answer: Erica now has 6 + x coins.
​

Why did I use absolute value for the first equation and not for the second? Simply to illustrate a different way of handling the answer to the problem.

The fact that the questions, as illustrated, do not provide enough information to yield a numeric answer does not mean there is no way to answer the questions.

They don't introduce variables in 1st grade, which is why I gave the answer I did.

Oh, you poor thing. You’re still stuck on the value of the coins when the question is about quantity, not value??

Even worse for you, you’re still stuck on that even after that’s been explained to you multiple times.

Hisses the moron who’s proven to be dumber than a six year old who can answer such easy questions that utterly confound him— to the point he had to create a thread on this forum in search of the answers .... which he still doesn’t understand even after the answers were not only given to him; but explained to him as well.

By the way, conservative moron... Common Core was injected into my state’s curriculum by a conservative Republican governor with a Republican controlled state legislature. That’s “Liberal fantasy land” to you, is it?

[BlackSand]

BlackSand, I've always thought you were pretty smart, but that was a really not smart statement. There certainly would be a definitive answer to both those problems if enough information were provided, but it wasn't. It has nothing to do with subjective opinions. That, girl, is the hogwash.

There wasn't enough information given ... And speculation isn't part of mathematics.
It is one of the only schools of knowledge where proving your work is not only encouraged ... But definitive.

The subjective opinions I was talking about involve all the other schools of knowledge and how things are interpreted.
Mathematics is not based in interpretation ... It is based in absolute proof.

The idea it is necessary to pollute an absolute science with goofy ideas about exploring alternative teaching methods is reckless and unnecessary.
Mathematics has worked fine without stupid questions that intentionally leave out information necessary to find a definitive answer.
Teach children how to do mathematics properly and correctly ... Instead of wasting valuable classroom time teaching them how to create nonsense.

2+2 = 4 ... Is Correct
2+y = orange ... Is Hogwash

Mathematics is not absolute. Most mathematics in life does not give you all the information. You make a best guess based on available information

I have a quarter tank of gas. Do I have enough gas to make it home?
I have a $20 bill. If I buy these four items, do I have enough money?
