Stephen Colbert Mocks Sample Common Core Math Problems

On his show last night, Comedy Central host Stephen Colbert expressed concern about adopting Common Core into public schools, mocking some of the sample Common Core math problems assigned to students.

“But folks, as much as I didn’t expect it, I may be coming around to the Common Core because it turns out that Common Core testing prepares our students for what they will face as adults: pointless stress and confusion,” Colbert cracked.
