This Common Core math problem asks kids to write the ‘friendly’ answer, instead of the correct one!

Friendly problems / Twitter screenshot and Paint

Absolutely insane!

A second grader’s answers to a Common Core-aligned math worksheet were marked as incorrect because they weren’t “friendly” enough… even though they were the right answers.

A screenshot of the worksheet was posted to Twitter. The teacher wrote that even though the questions — addition and subtraction problems — were solved correctly, the student used the wrong technique to arrive at the answers. (You should use the quickest technique, ignoramus.)
