I even object to the rounding. If the rule is to round to the nearest zero, then 75 would never be an acceptable answer, regardless of the values. Seems like a combination of shitty question combined with an attempt to "trick" rather than teach.
No where in that question is direction given to estimate. Reasonable-a point that is able to be reasoned, thought through. Logic dictates a simple math problem using the figures given to find a solution is reasonable. Not using figures that are not in the question.
Hypotheticals are not a bassis for debate when looking at given evidence. It might also state that joe biden won the election and that reason has no place in the school system. But the evidence before us, is all that we have to go on. If we had the whole sheet, and it did in fact state to do that, then this statement could be agreeable. As of right now? 🐸
I mean, what's more likely. The teacher put in this question without explaining to the kids what they had to do or the entire worksheet being about estimates and a kid fucking an answer up.
When I was in primary school every worksheet I got was always on one topic unless it was like a quiz or something.
I understand what you're saying and I think it's a poorly worded question. My argument is to take the question in the context of (possibly) being among other questions that the kid was required to answer on estimation. So if the kid answered the previous 8 questions, all dealing with estimation, why wouldn't this one deal with it as well? This is also an assumption on my part but given the types of worksheets I had in school pushes me to think that's the type of work this was and the kid just fumbled an answer.
It isnt a poorly worded question. That is a teache who saw the student give , not only a reasonable answer, but the exactly correct answer, and marked it wrong. That is teaching kids what to think, and not how to think. There is a bidmmg difference. A correct answer is a correct answer. It does not matter how you get there. If the teachers answer example is also acceptable, due to the nature of the assignment, that is fine, and in that case, he/she should have stated simply that, and not marked the answer incorrect.
This is either not official CC material or was poorly written. It should include language that specifically asks for estimating either in the overhead instructions or within the example. That is a standard inclusion on CC affiliated standardized tests and materials.
I'd like to smack Glen Beck upside the head for blathering on about Common Core while not knowing a thing about it. CC guidelines are intended to teach critical thinking skills. That some (many?) of the implementations were horrible isn't a flaw in CC, it's a flaw in the textbook industry - who may well lack the critical thinking skills necessary to understand the guidelines.
This is a shit question simply because it gives exact numbers which only have an exact answer. Simple subtraction. If the question had said about 28 or around 28 or what seemed like 28 and so on for 75 and etc.. then the only answer you could give is to estimate.
Is this the kind of teaching going on in America these days? These people need to be locked up for asking such shoddy and sloppy work.
It's a poorly written question meant to see if they understand estimating. Exact difference shouldn't have been 75. -2 for writing a shitty question
This, precisely. Whoever wrote that question needs to be beaten with a rubber hose.

Mafs be rayciss an sheeit.
2+2=5. Get it right bigot. REEEEEEEEEEEEE

Rounding is perfectly fine when estimating but obviously everyone needs to know that it's an estimate.

It might have been a worksheet where the entire thing is about estimating so they didn't need to put it in the question.

The question states reasonable. Is it not reasonable to use the figures stated to give an answer?

Is it a poorly worded question? Absolutely
Is it some sort of conspiracy? I doubt it

You are going to have to get in line friend. Glen Beck and the text book industry both have plenty of ‘smacks to be received.’
What is this shit? Math is about precision.
I see what they're going for, as always, but it's poorly executed.
at the root of every failed liberal ideology is an actual good idea. that's what makes them all so tragic.
When they are teaching your kids what to think instead of how to think.
fake, the kid's writing is over-faked.
the question is racist. carole is a traditionally white name! should change to chaquanda
This isn't just a poorly written question it is anti-learning. This is teaching children that they don't understand simple math.
