[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]SOLs are very similar to common core math in the sense that it focuses on teaching number sense. It's a far superior method to how we were all taught in school (where we basically memorized the algorithms but didn't actually learn math). [/quote] I disagree. The schools do focus on number sense which is good but they spend precious little time on mastery. So my son learned a myriad of ways to divide but spent very little time on any one way. If math builds on itself, you have a shaky foundation. He and many other students have to go to tutoring to get what it lacking- mastery of an algorithm that works.[/quote]
