So we should give them calculators? I'm not seeing where you're going with this. I still use what I taught myself way back then, and it has served me very well every time I need to do basic math in my head. So how exactly is it impractical?

10 x 10 = 100 In common core they teach it in a way that you break it down 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 etc....
It's silly.

So it's silly to break math problems down in order to teach kids the concepts behind why 10 x 10 = 100, or why 9 x 5 = 45. Should we just have them memorizes those times tables instead to prevent them from ever having to understand why 8 x 6 = 48? I think I'm beginning to understand why so many people are against this math course. I forces them to think.
