Listen, Everyday Math, I do not have patience for your crap this week.
Let's see...33 rounds down to 30, 42 rounds down to 40, 11 rounds down to 10; 30+40+10=80; 3+2+1=6; 80+6=86.
OR 3+2+1=6; 3+4+1=8; answer=86! So much easier!!
(B was literally in tears that he had to take the time to round down and do all of these extra steps when he could easily just add, carry where necessary, add, and get the total.)
SO DUMB!
