Kanin Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 Hi all, I apologize if there's already a post about this, but I was wondering if there is a list somewhere, or some resource, that lists the essential math skills that kids absolutely need to know before adulthood. Let's say a kid is never going to be multiplying fractions, doing algebra, etc.. we just want enough math to survive in the world. So far I've got: Addition and subtraction, and knowing WHEN to add or subtract Words like bigger, smaller, wide, narrow, greater than, less than, half, double, triple.... Basic fractions for cooking, for when someone says "put half of these thingamabobs over there..." Basic measurement How to balance a checkbook/understanding online bank account info Multiplication..? Like - if I get paid $X a week, how much do I earn in a month? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
