[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That first link is about college courses and remedial math.
The second one says they are developing an algebra two class for students to take in junior/senior year to get them ready for college.
Sure doesn't look like they are planning to teach algebra 2 in 8-10th grade spiral as they've been claiming.[/quote]

The overall goal and theme is supporting more kids on different, advanced math paths. From HS to college.

No need to fret - they talk about blending on the [url=https://www.doe.virginia.gov/instruction/mathematics/vmpi/index.shtml]VMPI website[/url]:  
[list][i]The content from Algebra 1, Geometry, and Algebra 2 is not being eliminated by VMPI, but rather the content of these courses will be blended into a seamless progression of connected learning. This encourages students to connect mathematical concepts and develop a much deeper and more relevant understanding of each concept within its context and relevance.[/i][/list][/quote]

Yes they said that.  And in one of their videos after that they said prealgebra will be in there, which makes sense since these are the classes for all students to take.  
If their claim of algebra-geometry-algebra 2 is to be believed, it means they are telling all students they are going to be put on an accelerated pathway, and one that is harder than a year advanced accelerated pathway, because they are throwing in math modeling, statistics and probability too.[/quote]
