I typed it down just as I saw it on Facebook.  Its getting a lot of comments, both good and bad.  The bad is mainly folks who are criticizing Common Core and how its changing how to do math in school these days. 

I thought it could be an interesting topic here is all. 

Common core makes sense to me when described by people who teach math.

It's just teaching how to think about math. If you've ever met someone who can do mental arithmetic quickly, chances are they use one or more of the common core methods in their mind (whether they realize it or not).
