Same as a kid I showed the work I did, which was none because it was all in my head. So many zeros....

As a second grade teacher, I recognize the Everyday Math open response question well. My students often have the same answer.

WTF is a "number sentence"?
Movietimeme
A formula. This is standard for how they teach kids today. Don’t know why.
ataradov
Talk about setting them up for a failure. So much stuff to unlearn before getting into the real world.
CarlostheBreadmeister
That’s cheating! Wait...

My daughter needed to answer a question on how she got information from a graph. "I just counted." Such nonchalant mathematical reasoning.
factotumjack
I get the rationale behind these questions, that you're trying to push that there is a reasoning process to go through, but they just suck.
FritoParadise
Growing up I was always able to do the math in my head and teachers always would take points because I "didn't show my work" until 7th grade

I teach this curriculum. That’s what they always say...

My son kept writing this. The rain they ask is so you can learn to explain your self so you understand how you're solving harder problems
DigYourselfBaby
I thought it was so you had to figure out how to come to the conclusion as opposed to memorizing the answer for the test.
mrsdowneyjr
Nope. Memorizing the basic stuff is helpful. If you know why you're doing an action now you'll know better why you need it later

What's a number sentence?
LizLittle
An equation, perhaps?
notajuniorchemist
An encoded message with some number format. it's easier to just use words, but without a cipher you can argue their interpretation is wrong
rbudrick
That's what they call an equation in school now. Shruggy emoji.

I'm no mathematician or anything, but if I had to geuss, it might be a math solution or formula.

Terrible geuss.

Just equations - 2+4=6, 6+6=12. This question is looking for an explanation and showing the steps he used to solve.
CmfMttnPpl
I read that as -2+4=6, and my first thought was " this muthafuka over here doing quick maffs..
iCanOrderPepperoniPizza
That looks like common core.
SewAdorable
Teacher here. We often have children show their thinking with pictures, numbers and words.
airen
I had very hard time with this as a kid bc i was always like ‘because thats how it works’ i lost points for not understand how to explain
airen
Math that i obviously understood
SewAdorable
That's exactly why it is required. To be able to explain your thinking shows a greater depth of understanding. Although I would never...
SewAdorable
...take away points. I would teach how to explain.
SewAdorable
A number sentence would be something like 2 + 5 = 7.
Nippledeepinahorse
When I was at school it was called a sum.
SewAdorable
Oh, it still is, you just need to be able to represent it in different ways.
moodring
A number sentence does not have to be addition, it can include division, multiplication, etc.
Nippledeepinahorse
Yes. All of these were sums. Subtraction and brackets, too. I never got much further than that, algebra stumped me for a looong time.
