I agree it is often a strange and complicated way of answering an otherwise simple math problem. And the kids become very frustrated when we try to show them "our easier way". They're simply required to answer their math problems the way the teacher presents it to them. I believe all schools now have a website where you can learn about their math program. This will help you to help your granddaughter. Good luck!
