    Can you pass common core math in grade school?

    Would you pass grade school today?

    States like New York are teaching and testing a new set of standards for public schools, called Common Core, which may be adopted nationwide. Here's a sampling of NY state's 2013 questions released by EngageNY, which maintains the state's Board of Regents materials and resources.


    I got seven out of eight. Don't pick on me. I stink at geometry.

    I tried to take it but it's more interested in loading ads than in loading the questions. So fuck it.
    The year's at the spring
    And day's at the morn;
    Morning's at seven;
    The hill-side's dew-pearled;
    The lark's on the wing;
    The snail's on the thorn:
    God's in his heaven—
    All's right with the world!

      I couldn't see any questions...only answers.

        Yes but none of those questions were as poorly worded as others I've seen.

          Congrats! You're ready to graduate
          You just scored a 8 out of 8
          I used what I already knew. The common core explanations of how the problems should of been calculated seemed like it would be more difficult.

            I have to admit that what I used was not what I learned in school for the most part.
            I was saying things in my head like "Add three, then an additional five" and so
            forth.

              I'm sorry that others had trouble. I clicked on the link, but I'm not
              sure what went wrong.
