"Killing it on kids week Jeopardy!"…is what I wish I could be saying. I would be in the negative after those math questions ?

Our theory: The writers behind the “Jeopardy” categories decided to try out a “Common Core Math” column, but the hot tears of the contestants kept shorting out the buzzers.
I love that kids #jeopardy right now has the category "non-common core math" #commoncore

lol there's a category on @Jeopardy now "non common core math". which member of the clue crew has a political axe to grind?

Instead, “Jeopardy” decided to stick with non-Common Core math — and still managed to bring competition to a halt.
Slow calculations cause kids to miss 3 of 4 math questions on Jeopardy yesterday.#ThanksCommonCore@Michellemalkin pic.twitter.com/UCuwMc2hHI

Jeopardy Game show has a category called: Non- Common Core Math. Hmm. How does one define NON common core math questions?

That Non common core math category is a lil difficult. My 30 yr old brain can't calculate tht fast #jeopardy

I despise the Order of Operations. And I married a math teacher. #Jeopardy

Congratulate yourself if you answered any of the math questions correctly.
