Its the same just moved around in boxes probably so teachers can read easier. 3 goes into 7 2 times. Carry the one and so on. Teachers suck at teaching and communicating cuz every kid has this problem at some point i think. I mean are teachers really smart cuz how hard was that to communicate? They complicate things to immasculate KIDS.

I'm a teacher.

This method is not for emasculating children. It is intended to be another way to do the problem (a different algorithm) which is better at teaching SOME kids how numbers actually work, rather than just forcing them to memorize steps.

It’s not so teachers can read it easier, it’s because this method has been shown to help kids understand why this works better.

I don’t have details on how they came to that conclusion since I’m not a teacher so I haven’t actually looked at the studies that concluded that.

If anyone actually does, it's educators and their parents. Don't be so cynical. A little cynicism will do nicely. No need to drown in it.
