Exactly. Seems like it's better than teaching just rote tables/memorization. Just because you morons can't figure out what a subtrahend is, you get all pissy about it.

Sadly, "that's how I learned it" is a common theme whenever this pops up. When a student is struggling with basic computation, which happens more often than you think, you have to start building-in mechanisms for students to arrive at the answer using something other than memorization.

You don't start building a house before you lay a foundation just because you don't understand the purpose of a foundation
