[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That’s incorrect. They are replacing the 6th grade advanced option of AIM or AMP 7+ with a new pre-algebras course based on Illustrative Mathematics. It will compact 7th and 8th grade standards into a year. (7+ is similar but skips some of the 7th grade standards.)

I wish my kid, who did AIM, could have done the new class. AIM was just a bad curriculum. [/quote]

Mine skippped AIM and did Algebra. [/quote]

Good for your kid. I’m PP and my kid would not have done well with that. But she could have used a much stronger curriculum than 2.0. I mean, there were typos in the packets, and the skills didn’t build logically. She’s doing much. Enter in A1 with Illustrative Mathematics.

I don’t know why MCPS tries to write its own curriculum when there are better options out there. They just rewrote their bad HS English curriculum to make it slightly less bad, when there are strong external options they could have selected.[/quote]

2.0 has been gone for many years.[/quote]

Not for AIM. My kid suffered through it last year, and our school continues to use it this year.[/quote]
