HHMMM...... ****** common core math

hahahahahaha im guessing you read some of those replies.... haha

Lol ya. I don't see how they possibly could think it's asking that. It's like they are reading more into it than is necessary. It's a straight up math question not a riddle lol.

It's 65. Common core math is like this though. All of my kids are going through it. I can't explain how terrible it is.

bruh I know what you mean... I had to explain to my step son how E-A-S-Y math can be and that the common core bs is what it is... bs.

Some of the word problems are worded in a fashion that is confusing, almost as if it's done purposely. I have found myself reading some of these and saying "why did they word it like that?"

So this common core math is purposely trying to be deceptive in their questions? Wtf for?

Its 46...... 46 started on the train. 19 get off you cant add 19 when its taking away from the orignal

this is the problem today
too many steps


no joke man, I showed my son how I solve %, multiply and add and subtract all in my head and he says it is so much easier the way I showed him without even writing anything down

46-19+17 is not 63. I think your math is off lol

But those 19 were on the train at the beginning. It's asking how many were on the train to begin with!

[bigdlb12]

some people say its 46..... some say its 65

what do ya think?

HA HA HA 46

The question is "how many people were on the train to begin with?"

saying 46 plus the 17 people that got on would make it 63 people total now

however, the 19 that got off would now make it 27 people now on the train.

simple, the difference in people getting on and off is (-2) meaning 2 more people got off than got on, so if there are now 63, then 63+2=65

or you can do 65-19=46, 46+17=63 63 is how many people are now on
