And why did they pick "Jennie" as the name, are they trying to imply that females aren't good at math?

Both methods have their merits. When I was a kid learning math, I always felt the purpose of word problems was to illustrate to the student possible "real world" applications of mathematics. As I recall, most students vehemently hated the dreaded "word problems." Re: Jennie should learn math - N-OS X-tasy! - 02-05-2015 JoeH wrote: There is only one precedence order. It has been taught under the guise of different names over the years, but it is always the same. Re: Jennie should learn math - N-OS X-tasy! - 02-05-2015 Mike Johnson wrote: Yep. 230+46= 276.

We put him to erase the sentence he wrote earlier (he is already in trouble with that teacher) and write down the explanation. I should have scanned this before he erased it ![]() ![]() |
