A math teacher worth their salt should grade according to the solution method AgentApple Send a noteboard - 28/09/2015 05:28:45 PM

Anyone can make a calculation error, but the important thing is to see if the student understands the problem and the algorithm for its solution.

4pi is an exact while 12.57 is an estimate. If you were not told to estimate then it should be counted wrong. If the answer 1/3 and you gave 1.333 you would e wrong because 1.333 does not equal 1/3 and 4pi does not equal 12.57 even if you did more work to get there.

It doesn't necessarily follow that education is getting worse, though. Legolas - 22/09/2015 06:22:31 PM 719 Views
But it has. College is now teaching what high school should have. Tom - 22/09/2015 09:00:20 PM 808 Views

To some extent - not entirely - it's just that the ideas of general knowledge were different. Legolas - 23/09/2015 06:25:36 PM 687 Views
You keep making this error in your logic. Tom - 23/09/2015 07:44:00 PM 599 Views
I do agree with you in large parts - but I don't see the full picture as bleakly. Maybe wrongly. Legolas - 23/09/2015 10:16:54 PM 625 Views
Johnny can't read is hardly new random thoughts - 28/09/2015 05:25:29 PM 621 Views

Do you have the full statistics? That'd be interesting. Legolas - 27/09/2015 04:59:40 PM 576 Views
Can you list those language choices? Vodalus - 28/09/2015 07:21:37 AM 657 Views
