[quote=Anonymous]Physics teacher here. I get the kids that supposedly passed algebra and have no number sense and can't rearrange F=ma. I think we need to stop giving letter grades in math at all before high school courses, and switch to a true standards based, student paced process in the elementary and middle school grades before students take Algebra. Rather than just moving kids from course to course (math 5 to math 6 to math 7 etc.) ensure that they meet a proficient level across all standards before they can take Algebra. Letter grades in high school courses will be fine, if kids are actually prepared and ready for the courses before they take them.[/quote]
