math

Its a bit much when, in order to help my daughter with her math homework she has to explain to me the method by which we she has to get to the answer.
I wish they'd stop changing how they teach.
Its not even as if she doesn't understand the traditional method cos when I show her how i used to do the same sum she grasps it immediately.
And yet the roundabout way that she has to write the sum down and show her workings confuses her.
:(
