[quote=Anonymous]OP what grade is your child in? What exactly do you not like about it? We're in public and our kids have used EDM since 3rd grade for AAP math in FCPS. They do 4th grade math in 3rd, 5th in 4th grade etc. It's been different but fine for the most part. I've learned several new methods for computation that I quite like. I've also loved seeing how many ways you can solve a problem. I grew up in the "drill n kill" era so it's a breath of fresh air. I only ever learned one way to solve a problem. It can be confusing for some kids but thankfully they are allowed to use what most of us would consider the "usual" US methods by 4th grade or so. The one thing that sometimes doesn't get stressed enough by some of the teachers is that the kids must practice the facts on their own until they have instant recall. That is not part of EDM and they really should find a way to include it. [/quote]
