[quote=Anonymous]I have a 3rd grader and he is repeating 3rd grade math because of math 2.0 (his 2nd grade teacher taught her class 3rd grade math as they segmented the kids by ability half way through the year last year0.  He came home telling me that he is in the "dumb" math group because everything is so easy and he learned everything already - not a great start for the new year.  Anyway - I explained to him that there is a new math program and he has to show a full understanding of each subject before he can move on and all of his peers are in the same class - no differentiation.

That is where this question comes in - I looked at the MCPS site and it does not show a week to week - or month to month plan for us parents to pull which can we can use to help our child (homework) show the teacher he or she has a complete understanding of a problem - all I see is the UCARE stuff.  I asked our principal and she admitted that the teachers have a link they go to for their lesson plans, but nothing for us (parents). That is frustrating!

I do not see an issue with kids having a deeper understanding of math; however, I am not clear on what the child should "know" exactly as sometimes the answer is the answer = how do you "show" that 109 + 300 = 409 other than computing the answer? [/quote]
