My niece is dyslexic and also has ADHD. Trying to help her with her "New Math" homework was physically painful for both of us.

There's no new math, there are ways to make shortcuts when doing old math.

I managed to figure it out on paper but holy shit my dudes. seems like it requires MORE mental math than the problem it is solving

second # + first digit of first #, then repeat [sum + (whatever it takes to get to next multiple of 10)], then same thing for the remainder

until you eventually arrive at the first number, then add up the column. Holy fuck am I glad I wasn't taught this way
