DD11 just took the Terra Nova for 5th grade. As a homeschooler, state law requires that she take a standardized test the same years as the public school kids.
She described several of the math problems on the test that gave her grief. Her friend (also PG and two years older) and I agreed that this was that "fake math" that kept showing up when DD was in public school. Used to drive us crazy (DH and I because she'd bring home worksheets and we could never make hide nor hair out of them).
It was Everyday Math and something called Bridges... and they were just horrible. Seriously, of all the subjects to mess up.
