Maybe this is just the first step, and she will introduce the second step (adding the 2 x 6 = 12 to 360) tomorrow.
I just hated to see her write 360 as the answer to 62 x 6, when she is quite capable of figuring out the correct answer. I understand your points about breaking the problem down into more workable chunks. I'll follow up on how the lesson progresses.

You can't just expect a school to "educate" your children, perhaps a little time explaining estimation would of been in order. Especialy if it isn't covered today.
