Common Core gets a Fail for common sense: Angry parents baffled by third grade math question that claims 5+5+5=15 is NOT correct
- A math quiz has been circulating the internet, showing how one third-grader got the wrong answer for a seemingly easy question
- The question was to use repeated addition to solve 5x3
- The student wrote 5+5+5=15, but was marked incorrect
- According to grading standards, the question should have been interpreted as five groups of 3, therefore 3+3+3+3+3=15
- While many have criticized the grading practice as a result of Common Core, the Common Core does not regulate lesson plans
