AS TAUGHT TO SHARE AT AN ENGLISH SCHOOL

In grade 4 middle school (high school), in the first half, in mathematics at home, set the score to 20. After the new year, the score is up to 40. Multiplication table, there really knows almost no one. But in the third grade, all students right at school, give a calculator. This is another reason not to teach her. The division system looks like this: 15: 3. I’m not saying that it is again a multiplication table that you need to know by heart.

 

On a piece of paper is written the number 15. It is encircled by a circle, and three legs are drawn to the Cup. That’s 3. And then in front of each leg consistently put a point until you count to 15. All that remains is to count the points in front of one leg. That’s the correct answer. At first, I thought the kid was doing stuff. I even asked what she made up. On that received the answer:

– Is the school explained how to divide numbers.

I was in shock. After a few seconds I asked:

– Can you divide 200 by 10?

– Ohh, this is a difficult task, – the eight-year-old daughter of my girlfriend answered me, – But I will try.

She wrote the number two hundred, circled, drew 10 feet, and started to put the dots and count.
– For God’s sake stop-I asked, – I can’t look at it.
