[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Did they mention if it has something to do with the new curriculum? This move towards acceleration and compacting is annoying. Most other districts and private schools are focusing more on depth than going faster.[/quote]

Thank you! There are a lot of very relevant topics in middle school math, and I see no reason to rush it unless the student has very good number sense and picks up on concepts quickly. [/quote]
It is not rushing, it is the normal pathway.[/quote]

The Pathway at the top of this thread is not accurate. MCPS and national data has shown that as the push to acerbate increases, the long term success decreases. National guidance and MCPS middle schools are moving to have more students in the on grade level courses and double-up on math courses in high school if they want to take Calculus.

Many colleges are also reevaluating the need for calculus and shifting more towards Stats: very few college majors benefit from a Calc background while almost all college majors need stats.[/quote]
