[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are they really teaching advanced math in 3rd grade AAP math. Its mostly rounding whole numbers not much different from general ed math. I thought they would be doing 4th grade math?[/quote]
4th grade is rounding numbers.  Ha ha ha.  [/quote]

Rounding to nearest hundred is 4th grade? Wow math standards really went down. [/quote]

No, it's spiral curriculum meaning they review content periodically throughout all the grades--and introduce harder things earlier in brief ways and then revisit later.  So some pre-algebra in 2nd grade, flies over most kids head, reviewed in 4th grade etc.  It's now that they are introducing this as new content.  It's often tied to a bigger concept too--so they'll review rounding numbers (or whatever) in order to introduce something new that sort of depends on it.  This year they are doing a bit more review than usual to address pandemic gaps, but the AAP math will get you to taking algebra honors in 7th grade--even if you end up not taking it.[/quote]
