Addition Problem

January 25th, 2008

Addition ProblemI was helping my daughter with her homework.

She said her teacher didn’t want her carrying over tens the way I was showing her, “she hadn’t taught it to them yet.”

Stumped by that one, the best I could suggest was doing it anyway and erasing the evidence.

  1. 5+7 = 12,
  2. write 2 in the ones place,
  3. carry the ten into the tens place,
  4. 10+20+30 = 60,
  5. write the 6 in the tens place,
  6. ERASE the hell out of that damn ’1′ so you don’t get a crying child who hates arithmetic…
