6! My explanation is that the answer is 6.
wat?
I'll just say 5 because I am confused, it's my favorite number and you can't divide 24 by 5
I'll go for 6 because adding 6 to 24 gives an answer that isn't in the twenties.
the 6 and the 4 in the ones column are added resulting in a 0 for the ones column and a 1 carried over (i.e. regrouped, never heard this term) to the tens column.Quote:

Perhaps they are using the hashmarks counting method:
IIII = 4
IIII with a slash from top right corner to bottom left corner = a regroup.
Therefore the answer is 6 because you have to re-group the slashes.

Now I know though so WATCH OUT!!!! Had Lukie not answered it I would have been all over it.
This was on my sons homework, and I had no fucking Idea what regrouping was either. I even googled it and got no better explaination. Then my son explained it to me.
And your son said what?
This reminds me of when my little brother showed me how his math teacher was teaching him queue math. Seriously, it was questions about people being in line. I laughed and said I would glady turn in a blank homework for him just to laugh at the teacher in person.
he explained it basically calling it carrying...
I dont remember ever doing as much homework as I am now. I helped him do 2hrs+ tonight and my Kid is in 2nd grade! WTF!!
good school, unless repetitive homework imo
it sucks for him for a lot of reasons though...
as long as he's a brainyack...its all good.
Yes, probably.Quote:
