Yeah, when I went through school they didn’t teach it this why but that is what I taught myself, much more simple math (+ & - with no * or \) in the same amount of steps.
Is that what they call Common Core? I’ve heard the term but didn’t know how it changed the method of teaching math.
Leave it to my AuDHD brain to figure out a less strenuous path to the same endpoint…
I wonder if this is an anxiety source for ASD/ADHD/AuDHD people. Having to constantly re-map lessons taught to fit my neurodivergent brain that it now feels like the entire neurotypical world is gaslighting neurodivergents.

Common core showed multiple ways that were intended to increase the understanding of how math works. This was one of the ways that was presented which wasn’t how they taught it when I was a kid. There were at least two that I remember when my kiddo was doing common core:
Double one of the numbers and add or subtract the difference between them (7 is two less than 9, so 9x9 then subtract 2)
Take enough from the smaller number to reach 10 and add what is left (9+7 to 10+6)

Just a heads up, your \ got absorbed by the text markdown Lemmy uses. You have to use a double slash to have it show up, like this
\\.Fixed, thanks again!
Oh, thanks so much for the heads up. I didn’t know that!
Sure thing! It’s not a particularly well-known thing, tbh, so it slips into comments now and again.
