Came across this puzzle for an 8 year old

Is this the new way of teaching math I've heard about that leaves the parents of millenials non-plussed?

I suspect this is one of it's proponents: Jill Neumayer DePiper.

I would like to say I'm not pointing fingers but if I'm not then I'm not really sure what I'm doing. I'm certainly not calling her competency in question! I'm nowhere that much into this subject. She just kind of popped up without much work on my behalf.

"Jill Neumayer DePiper is an expert in mathematics education and leads large-scale research studies and evaluation studies to broaden access to high-quality instruction. Her research focuses on changes in teacher knowledge and instructional practices that advance the quality and equity of mathematics instruction, particularly focused in middle grades mathematics."

No idea @sbrothy, but IMO, PF should not accept those who don't respect PF clear and easy rules, ie, statement of the question, attempt to solve, a little bit of LaTeX... In a single word : effort.

No no. I agree with that. That was more of an aside so to speak.
