    Actually, no. One of the core goals of the US Common Core math standards is to make explicit this type of compensation strategy. One of the main ones emphasized for addition/subtraction is ‘taking from/completing a ten’ but there is a lot of work to help kids internalize these kinds of doubles strategies!

        Doesn’t matter. The meme specifies ‘someone, usually a teacher’ scolding them. If the teacher is teaching math since 2011 (i.e. today) they should recognize and encourage this strategy.

        Please improve your reading comprehension before trying to be a smug scold.
