[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The math scores are abysmal because the new math they teach is abysmal. They don't teach basic math facts like multiplication tables. What is happening is that parents are not able to offer the support at home.[/quote] We moved to FCPS (MD), and my 4th grader, who knew his math facts from his MCPS school, is still working on them, as his teacher constantly reinforces the basics while teaching them new material. I love it.[/quote] My DS started when they rolled over to the 2.0 curriculum and they were not taught straight up multiplication table memorization. They taught groupings (which is another valid way) and other multi-step, round-about ways. Then they expected them to simply know 9x8. It didn't work and he is still catching up. [/quote]
