Warning: I find math fun.

Anyone having trouble understanding how "common core" math works?
 I am going to start posting explanations on how it works. In a way that is not out of context(like random pictures on the internet) It actually doesn't change the other way it just explains how numbers work to better comprehend the "original math"




The "normal" math makes numbers seem set in stone like letters.
example; (A=A) (452=452)

But numbers aren't set in stone. which is why we unintentionally do better math when we think of money.
example;
(452)=(400+50+2)        OR (100+100+100+100+25+25+1+1) etc...
(4.52)=(4.00+.50+.02) OR (1.00+1.00+1.00+1.00+.25+.25+.01+.01) etc...

Math problems can be broken down into easier to comprehended versions and then stuck back together like a puzzle. Making math easier to do in your head later on when you can skip all the steps just because you happen to know how the numbers fit together.

Like memorizing multiplication tables on a much larger scale but without the effort of expecting everyone to memorize everything.
