1st grade:
Directions: use a doubles fact or a doubles plus one fact to help you solve the answer.
Bob has 2 dogs
Bob gets 2 more dogs
How many dogs does Bob have?
Cindy has 5 apples
Cindy picks 6 more apples.
How many apples does Cindy have now?
Directions:
Find the addends and subtrahend.
6 - __ = 2
3 + __ = 10
Directions:
Draw a number line to help you find the answer.
4 + 2 = __
9 + 5 = __
2nd grade
Directions: Use grouping to solve. Show your work.
23 37
- 9 - 8

Government controls education
The dumber one is, the more they rely on government
Government has a vested interest in making the future generations dumb because it means more dumb people to rely on government, which will allow government to get larger and have more power/control.
This is by design

What's the issue?

ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
I know the answers but for some reason it seems confusing
ETA: The number line is legitimately useful for kids though.

IDK, but trying to help my 2nd grader with homework is frustrating as frick. I told my wife that I'm done with math homework....I can help with everything else but she has to help with math

They don't want parents working with their kids.
The government is the only acceptable teacher.

Well, the idiots win.
This new math is absolutely stupid.

There is nothing wrong with teaching children missing addends/subtrahends.

I don't understand it. I feel like it takes more work than it is worth and honestly am not sure what it is teaching the kids.

Nothing wrong with that - we used number lines.

It isn't "more work than it is worth"...it is the natural progression of understanding basic computation.

The foundation of mathematics.

It's teaching them how to not have to rely on a calculator by the time they are in 9th grade.

Short answer, to think more critically.
I think it is helpful in some ways, not helpful in other ways i.e. Math.

We had one problem that said something like this:
Bob has 4 apples
Cindy gave Bob 3 apples.
How many more apples does Bob have now??
What is that teaching them? How is that even Math?

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
