The emphasis on the "New Math Common Core" is moving more towards the explanation, and the how, and the procedures at arriving to get an answer, rather than on the correct solution. In other words, as long as a student can explain the process to a math problem, say 3*4, but arrives at 11, not 12, it would be close enough, because the student was able to explain the process involved. Welcome to the new "normal." Please tell me what was wrong with the basic fundamentals of "reading, writing and arithmetic?"
