– Common Core math is considered by some parents and educators as “fuzzy math”, a method too different from what they know, and too challenging for the children that it can even hold back the best learners. In fact, Common Core math helps pupils to grasp mathematical concepts better and faster than the precedent education systems, and sets higher expectations for both teaching and learning.

– In following Common Core math standards, students learn by simultaneously developing computational fluency and understanding math concepts. Such a method may seem fuzzy at first, particularly for people who lack the adequate information. But in reality Common Core math is one of the smartest and most effective ways to learn mathematics.
