My children's elementary school district just adopted a new math curriculum. The program is called Everyday Math, and it is here to stay for the next seven years. I am critical of Everyday Math. I became critical while trying to help my third-grader with "partial sums addition". I do not feel that there is a benefit or advantage to using this method (algorithm) over traditional addition. I am not happy that the "learning kit" my child received included a calculator. As the school year is unfolding, I am looking more closely at what is being taught, what is yet to come, and how I can supplement.
