[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Times tables? I had those down in third grade...expecting more from BASIS at fifth.[/quote] You needed to learn to read better -- BASIS won't teach the times tables in 5th, they expect them to already by learned. This does not happen in many DCPS.[/quote] Can't speak for all of DCPS, but the better schools avoid rote memorization of "times table" in favor of teaching cardinality and better numerical literacy. Knowing multiplication tables is a convenience when you've mastered more foundational concepts, but it in no way represents any mathematical knowledge.[/quote] PP^^again -- and yes, Kahn Academy is a good place to start[/quote]
