[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This Freakonomics episode from a few years ago seems to be suggesting the same changes VA is pursuing. https://freakonomics.com/podcast/math-curriculum/ In theory, I like the idea of more data analysis, statistics being introduced but totally disagree with "detracking." All students are helped by having instruction at their pace. [/quote] If you add more things, then you are taking something out of the curriculum as well. Right now, I feel that algebra students are not getting enough focus on solving equations and solving word problems by making equations. Meanwhile, they added a topic on line of best fit where the calculations are done in Excel, and kids have to extrapolate and interpolate and generally understand what the line does.[/quote]
