In the latest battle against the insanity that is Common Core, Retro Bakery owner and mom Kari Haskell slams a Common Core math problem that “made her head hurt.”
She posts the math problem and shows the elaborate steps taken to solve simple multiplication while also including the “old” way of doing it. Which way is simpler? It's certainly not the Common Core way. Some of the reactions she received after posting it to Instagram show that everyone else hates it too, including at least one teacher who stated “I can tell you – common core sucks.”
Indeed.
