Sometimes I notice things that really trouble me and make me confused.

Here's some.

In this new math you apparently NEED to know why you're doing this and that and you need to "Show your work". Yes. you walk into a room for a job interview, I doubt the person will tell you to show your work for a math question. They have better things to do, they should be working, not hearing what 10 times 10 is and how the person got it.

Whenever you mess up and do something wrong the Teacher would sometimes say "What are you doing?" Like for example maybe you're bouncing a Basket Ball down the hallways, they might say "What are you doing?" like I just said, even though a Toddler would know that you're bouncing a basketball.

My old Grade 6 Teacher said that you can't break up numbers in Math, and that the old math is wrong. Think of what you're doing on the Number Line.

I'm not sure if my theories are 100% true but I think they are true. Please comment on what you think about this. This is Off Topic foruming UNDER the Off Topic forum so do not bother saying "wrong forum".

I haven't used a number line for anything except showing equation models since 3rd grade.

And it's not my math classes anymore Joseph. Now I learn Algebra and Ratio's and stuff. Maybe it's because Canada and US learning are much different.

OMG 7TH GRADE MATH IS SO DUMB!!!!!!!!!!1!!!

get used to it because showing your work is a major part of school

they need proof that you didn't just cheat

plus if you get a problem wrong it helps them figure out where you screwed up so they can help you

just because you're in algebra 1 doesn't mean that it's not called math

"show your work"
speaking with almost 8 years of experience i can tell you that you will need to do this all the time in math
why?
so the teacher knows you didnt cheat (or use a calculator if you havent gotten to 7th grade yet)

This.
Although there are some problems that say show your work that is common sense to anyone but I do it anyway.

Well Hyph that's true but my Teacher is saying I need it for getting a job which makes no sense what-so-ever.

It's math. Get the answer, know the answer. That's my motto.

ok can you clear something up real quick

what grade are you in because it's really confusing to figure out if your math is actually difficult or if you're just whining

because i'm pretty sure i could show you my textbook and you wouldn't have a clue what's going on

@Hyphalax

I've had to retake pre-algebra this year because last year most of my grade got bored and started filling in random answers on the Ohio Achievement Assessments.

well that depends on what job you go into but whatever

i can assure you that once you hit calculus showing your work becomes something you do by choice, not by requirement

It's a personal question. Rules of ROBLOX say I can't spread that. But I will say I've not gone past 10th yet.

And you can't judge people by what age they are, I know a 13 yar old who doesn't know the answer to 9 times 9.

@Hyphalax

My dad said most of this stuff is stuff I won't really need in even the most complicated jobs but...
math is my best subject so I put up with it.
