The Process of Addition Under the Common Core Curriculum

Now, let me see if I understand this new math curriculum under the "Common Core." In the above example, we all know, hopefully, that "7 + 7 = 14."  However, according to the above example, that second "7" is allocated between two numbers, "3 & 4."  Therefore, one should then add the "3" to the original "7," which yields "10."  Then, add the "4" to the "10" and arrive at 14, which is the correct answer.  I believe I fully understand this new math curriculum.  Saying that, I will go ahead and stick with the old way of adding two numbers together.  What about you?
