Need help with new math in school?
Okay, this may be a stupid question, but I live in Michigan, and my nephew came home last school year with his math homework. Apparently, they are teaching kids this NEW MATH. He tried to show me how to do it, but it was completely backwards from what I learned. You subtract from left to right???? I don't understand this new concept. Does anyone have a website or something that can help me to learn this new way of doing math? My daughter starts school this year, and I want to be prepared.

The left to right thing is just another way of explaining to the kids how it works. And if your daughter is starting school this year I don't think she'll be doing adding and subtracting in more that the single digits.
