Grid Method (Multiplication) - Key Stage 2 Maths Help

[ekibarthenid]

@ekibarthenid shes just trying to help.... fuck

@1stChipmunkSongs Don't get me wrong she is helping, if it wasn't for her I wouldn't have realised how bad the modern education system have got it wrong,, I'm meeting kids all the time now that are just confused as to which method of calculating they have to use for which equation,,,

[ekibarthenid]

I'm critising the system rather than the teachers.. far too much information for kids who struggle with maths to take in before the basics are absorbed,, yes the new methods are good and I wish I'd had that opportunity at my time in school.,, only at a later time when it was necessary..

[ekibarthenid]

As a parent i've had to watch this to help my kids with their homework.. yeah ok it works but what was wrong with the easy way?? And if you say it's easier for kids that struggle with maths I think the first comment made answers that arguement,, getting them to listen in the first place is the key!!

You saved me from getting a 1hour detention because I only know the column method and I didn't understand the grid method most of the time because either I keep talking in class or gazing into space look like I know what to do Lol
