What Is Common Core Math? | Common Core Problems | EssayCorp Common core math is the new thing in world of mathematics; it came as rebelling force against the stagnancy of mathematics problems just requiring humdrum calculations. Students have often complained about math’s being tough subject or always having out of syllabus questions but the truth is that the cross linking of toughness of questions to non–neuronal firing is an accurate one. What it means is that if human mind doesn’t relate practical real life with the question asked it becomes tough by design not by choice. To counter this rigmarole oriented mathematical pedantries requires an escapist approach which sets questions in such a way that it sets the tone such that person anticipates next question himself. It can only happen if such interaction happens both ways i.e. a person can’t anticipate the next parts of questions until and unless he is trained to think in set pattern of reasonable framed questions to be asked in order and this can only happen from kindergarten. Math formulas are very unpalatable and desiccated from academic pragmatism that is necessary for neuronal firing. If we align two polar opposites i.e. abstract reasoning and practical examples it acts a fiery cocktail and we get amazing individual in society that is not a robot.

Common Core Math Examples Most common examples are that of time, distance, speed etc. for example a train moves between 2 stations with distance of 100 km between them with speed of 60 km/h how long will it take to


complete the journey, now questions like this set the tone of practicality i.e. people can relate with the question and have experienced such a thing. Now it is up to examiner since now he practically has the finger of the student in his hand and can guide his curiosity in any direction. So next question can be if two trains start at same time and one is slower than other with 10kmph. Then you can ask what if a fly travels between two trains that face each other that are travelling at 30kmph and 35kmph then what is the total distance travelled by fly etc. see if you notice carefully the pattern that we are trying to follow here is simple start with a question that is relatable and make the question more and more difficult until the solver starts feeling that he is there where all this is happening. Abrupt increase in difficulty of questions per classes based on a topic is seen as linear and monotonous exercise which doesn’t take into account nonlinear progress that mind is capable of making.
