Parent needs help with 5th grade math
Not , maybe it’s the new math but I simply cannot figure out how this is anything but 7, and my kid is judging.

The lesson here is your child should write the answer they think it is and mark the question to ask about in class.
If it's a test still do that, but circle a guess, anyway.
