This kind of things maddens us old farts. Us old farts were taught math was concrete and had only one true answer, not reasonable answers. But I can understand why it is being done, if exact numbers aren't important and they are learning to estimate. But it just throw us old farts off.
That's not what they are doing.
You have kids. They do a math problem and come up with an answer that is way off. You say, "Does that answer even make sense?"
They are teaching kids to understand if what they have come up with is a reasonable answer. By estimating. But some times the people coming up with the questions don't get it either so they only confuse people more.

Depends on what you think "reasonable" is, I can guarantee my wife and I have very different interpretations of the word reasonable....

went to the grocery store after work and as i was leaving there was a shouting match between two men in the parking lot. enough of a "scene" that people were standing nearby recording it. some people i think were calling the police too. very strange (and uncomfortable). i got the hell out of dodge.

Six scrambled eggs does not seem like enough, but two boiled eggs is plenty.
