The Numerical Mathematics Consortium today announced the latest revision to a technical specification introduced earlier this year that defines an open mathematics semantics standard for numerical ...

The Common Core State Standards teach students the algorithm for multi-digit addition and subtraction in 4th grade. But some experts say it should be taught sooner.

Both Jason Zimba and Bill McCallum, co-authors of the Common Core math standards, have noted in public forums that the standard algorithm can be taught earlier.

Math can’t catch a break. These days, people on both ends of the political spectrum are lining up to deride the Common Core standards, a set of guidelines for K-12 education in reading and ...

While the box method is essentially the same as the standard algorithm, it does a much nicer job of illustrating what's going on in a multiple-digit multiplication problem. 23 times 7 really just ...

Consider the standard algorithm for multidigit addition and subtraction, which makes its appearance in Grade 4 of the Common Core math standards.
