Cancel that teachers staff pizza party in lieu of a payrise pass.

The writing looks like first or second grade. Where do they teach fractions in that grade?

[–] bluewing@lemm.ee 2 points 1 week ago

Boys in particular, (though girls are not exempt from poor handwriting), will have "poor" penmanship pretty much all through elementary school and even into Jr High. And fractions are generally introduced at the end of the 3rd grade school year. And based on the question, that's the likely grade level that test was created for.

I would bet that most of the students in that class got the answer correct because they were coached to read the question correctly-- to look for the fractions and simply compare them. And anyone else that didn't, simply chose the wrong answer. Still, you will get a surprise answer like that every once in a while because kids are cool like that. It's worth a chuckle as you move on.

Is there any reason at face value why the teacher’s answer is correct? From my perspective the teacher is an idiot and missing some basic math skills.

Marty ate 66% vs the other kid’s 83%, no way “marty ate more” with the information given.

no way “marty ate more” with the information given.

I had situations like this at least a few times a year in school.
I usually managed to convince the teacher I was right.

And yah this kid is almost certainly ND.
Not just the answer, but the handwriting screams dysgraphia.
It looks a lot like mine.

Ahh, fractions and word problems, the bane of my education (seriously, why do we bother with fractions when decimals are easier to compute and express?)

[–] A_Chilean_Cyborg@feddit.cl 5 points 1 week ago
  1. who says, 5/6 is easy to mentally understand than 0.83־.

  2. is a reasonable way to start thinking about arithmetics, and basically to start doing simple math IMO.

[–] Jamablaya@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago (18 children)

Man, if you can't understand fractions, you don't actually understand the math, you're just trained to use a formula.
