A dozen years ago or so there was a huge uproar about "common core" mathematics, which was a new standard being used in the USA for teaching.
It was a politicized trendy topic and even so-called-intellectuals were jumping on the train and calling it a deranged way of learning math.
I looked into it a bit, and I swear this pic pretty much sums up one of the key methods they were teaching.
Basically just tricks that a lot of people figure out to simplify problems.
That's exactly what it is. A way to help conceptualize and play with numbers. Stuff my bored ass was doing in school anyway before common core came around lol
Common core is still a thing. I wish I had common core as a kid. Makes way more sense.
