[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]According to the new handbook, 2016-2017, the math classes for 5th grade are as follows: 5 Algebra I & Geometry 5 Intro to PreAlgebra 5 Mathematics So maybe they renamed the classes. Algebra I stayed the same but maybe Intro to PreAlgebra is Math 8/7 and Mathematics is Math 7/6? Not sure if the curriculum changed or if it is just a name change. [/quote] Curriculum isn't different - it's all Saxon math. In that curriculum Geometry is covered in Algebra I and Algebra 2. You don't take a stand alone class called geometry. That has caused issues for some students who leave Basis and go to a DCPS high school and they are told they must take a year of Geometry although they may have covered that content back in 6th or 7th grade. So BASIS has renamed the classes in hopes of easing those transitions. Not clear if it will work (for DCPS) but I think it's an easy change for them to make that may help students.[/quote]
