Compensation Math, Barcode Lessons, Republican Opposition
The discussion on Common Core continues with "compensation math" or estimative arithmetic, which some engineers claim to use but others find confusing for children.

The hosts predict that Republicans will turn Common Core into a partisan issue, potentially obscuring the actual concerns regarding the curriculum.
