I’ve peripherally heard of some New Math that’s being taught in schools for the last couple of years that is different from the way I learned. When I do math I start with the right side and work my way over to the left but the New Math apparently works over from the right to left.

So for example where I did math like this:
             1 
  19        19          
+11     +11
===   ====
             30

Now my question is this: how does the new math work? I mean, if there’s no 1 carrying (since its starting with the 10 integer and working over to the right), does it add another row underneath like so:
              
  19        19       19        best secured credit card,best card credit secured,best card credit offer secured credit card debt help,card credit debt help need,card counseling credit credit debt help first premier credit card application card credit loan uk,uk credit card loan secured credit card canada prepaid credit card canada credit card debt solution,virginia credit card debt solution bank card credit orchard pay accept account card credit merchant citi bank credit card card consolidation credit loan school uk online credit card application credit card debt consolidation oregon gas reward credit card credit card processing company mbna credit card login card consolidation credit debt debt debt ?,credit card debt consolidation,card consolidation credit debt services? ? debt interest credit card consolidation business credit card consolidation citibank credit card application,citibank credit card application status card consolidation credit debt graph bank secured credit card,well fargo bank secured credit card card credit point reward visa,visa reward credit card instant approval uk credit card account card credit merchant processing my premier credit card account best cash back credit card card credit online services visa credit card application status bean card credit ll mbna,mbna credit card,card credit mbna online payment 0 balance transfer credit card merchant services credit card processing providian bank credit card bank card credit juniper card credit history no visa,no credit history credit card,card credit credit history no best card consolidation credit deal calculator card consolidation debt credit bank card credit orchard services much music ringtones crazy frog listen ringtones arabic download free ringtones free motorola razr ringtones cell cricket free phone ringtones free motorola ringtones tracfone v170 download nokia 3360 ringtones mp3 ringtones maker download free phone ringtones alltel free music real ringtones 1600 free nokia ringtones banana phone ringtones,free banana phone ringtones

             2         20
                        10
                      ===
                        30

If anybody knows, can you let me know? My son has reached a point with math that we need to address this but we want to make sure we have the method right so that when the teachers try to indoctrinate, he already has their methodology down.

Thanks in advance.
