(Not Common Core)-- Why are they teaching math this way?
Because somewhere a bureaucrat w/ a liberal arts degree decided to change the way people do math so they feel useful and good about themselves. When your only tool is a hammer ( i.e "change") everything looks like a nail
Just FYI almost all the creators of common core math were all higher level mathematicians. The problem with that is none of them were ever taught how younger kids learn and had no sense of the childhood education system.
