What is wrong w this??
Also, should I use this as a pattern interrupt?
Not Sales but WTF

I'm confused. did your kids teacher deduct points for those last ones? They definitely did what they were supposed to do
There was some mention of drawing - which was not on the paper.
ah so maybe they needed to actually draw 13 circles, then show it subtracting 8 circles, etc.
Idk, instructions unclear. unfair to the kid imo.

Depends on how it was taught - maybe they want them to come up with other ways to represent the problem. Learning to thoroughly read instructions is also important - and also asking for clarification if you don't understand. Learning to self-advocate (without being a little jerk) is important for kids.
Mind you, I hate this kind of thing myself. You're asking for the solution to the problem? Here's the math. Don't make me also engage in an art step too. ;) But that's me, wanting to problem solve and get it behind me.

this is exactly why I failed as a software development major.
Professor would assign a project. I would do said project, it would function flawlessly without any bugs, then I would get a 50% on it for "not doing it correctly" because I used a different form of logic than they wanted, used a different type of loop than they wanted, something dumb like that.
Thank god I'm not a kid nowadays.

Right? My youngest is a senior in HS, and navigating the changing methodologies for teaching/learning has been a challenge. Fortunately, we all advocate and they learned early on to ask questions if they didn't understand what was being asked.
@Sunbunny31bringing in the parental experience. Good catch. I was confused myself.
I didn't understand it.
Yeah, from what I can see, the answer provided was correct, but there was a step missing, based on the question asked, which was to draw to show your thinking. Honestly, that would drive me wild if I was a kid who had progressed past needing to count on my fingers, and if I was the parent of a kid who had progressed past this, I'd be having a conversation about more accelerated math. (spoken as a parent who actually didn't have to have these conversations because my kids were actually moved out of rudimentary math requirements).
The lesson for a parent is to pay attention so your kids don't get frustrated. The vast majority of teachers and schools are interested in working with parents to get it right for their kids, so you can advocate but don't immediately think of them as adversaries. :)

Here's how I'd answer.
Probably looking for 13-x=8 in the equation and 16-x=9
Based on the hand writing, my guess is the student in fairly young, I am surprised they are learning that already
Fair enough. Although, my handwriting honestly would look the same
:/ What wrong did you find in this ? :/
I canโt find the wrong?!?
"Draw to show your thinking" was not done.
I had a full on brain malfunction until I read the instructions haha
Looks like Common Core... gotta make simple stuff difficult.
Idiocy is everywhere.
Your kid did a fantastic job.
In a child's mind, things are simple.
I'd have literally patted their back.
Your kid is definitely going places.
Never let this simplicity wither.
