Math is awesome. Even long-division is cool for understanding the workings of numbers (though it will never be used in later life). I even learned the technique for doing square-roots in grade 3.
When my in elementary school brought home their math problems, I was aghast at how things have deteriorated. Everything was sentence answer, not actually calculating anything.
Question: Answer in a sentence why the number 99 is larger than the number 50.
Answer: The number 99 has more "10s" in it than the number 50.
Arghhhhhhh!!!!
