Hey teachers
can any of you tell me what this means?:
"write five names for ten and be sure to use the four orders of operations"
This was my nephews math home work tonight, he's in 3rd grade. He didn't know what to do and my sister pretty much looked at it and went "WTF?" she emailed his teacher, because even his tutor didn't know what it meant.
Re: Hey teachers
This is probably too late, but "five names for ten (10)" means that there are different ways of writing down the number 10 in mathematical notation. The 4 orders of operations means addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. If this were higher-level math, you'd also use parentheses and exponents (also known as PEMDAS or "Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally"). If I were to do this for the number 200, for example, I would write it thus:
100x2
399 - 199
1000/5
40 + 160
25x8
Hope this explains it well enough for you -- it's been a long time since math class.
I'm assuming the teacher's response email included something like: "We went over this in class...he should know this"
This is something that my 3rd graders have been doing since first grade-it's not a new concept to them. (not trying to be snarky, because I had a parent ask me the same question this year as well - but I responded kindly)
He probably should know it but does have a hard time with math... And my sister was not sure that she was doing it correctly when she was helping which is why she emailed.
Her response was more along the lines of "I don't see what your problem is? This is the language from the standardized testing"
I do have to say though, if the tutor didnt know I think they should look elsewhere for help. Seems like a pretty basic concept that a tutor should know.
