This is the earliest article I could find on mathematic standards in canada for the same grade.
canada
Wait wait waitYou're complaining about American standards dropping, which they aren't, when you went to school in Canada, which had higher standards to begin with?

LOL I love how just left the thread never to be seen again. Rode off on his moose into the cloudy horizon. A bottle of maple syrup and and the one thing he knew to be true and would never turn against him: Canada. Because you can defeat him in an Internet argument, you can prove him wrong, but what are you really without Canada? Can you ice skate on a pool in the middle of summer? Drink the finest maple syrup in the world? See the sun only once, twice if you're unlucky, in your entire life? What are you really when you can't feel the snow coming down all around you, the frozen back of your moose riding into your crotch, and the blistering cold wind whispering into your ear Canada, O Canada. Eh?

Saying that the US's implementation of CC is lowering standards is false. Just because the standards in Canada are higher than the US doesn't mean ours are getting worse.

, and common core isn't the answer you need.
It's better than what we have.

What you guys need isn't a more convoluted method, what you need is to start increasing the difficulty and raise expectations. artificial difficulty just causes more problems. think of the difference between a dark souls boss, and something like Mario Bros. The Lost Levels, or Sonic 06 that's the way the american education board needs to think.

What the fucÂk do you think Common Core is? you aren't challenging a mind when you resort to simple things like number lines
Common Core is trying to get kids to think about math differently than their parents' generation.
Truth be told, we won't know whether it's made a positive or negative impact until these kids are going into college and the work force.
I find it bollocks because I don't get the methods used.
