[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Oh, and one more thing. The level of difficulty of the problems in mathspace is nowhere near the difficulty on the SOLs. The level of difficulty in math techbook (the pre-algebra/math 7 book) is way too hard. Neither is sufficient for assigning homework or creating an assessment. I know staff well at 4 different county schools, and only 1 school is using it at all. WASTE. OF. MONEY.[/quote] Yes..and the techbook barely matches what we're teaching. Unit 1 - conversions, ordering, real number system, square roots, tax, tip, discount, interest, proportions, percent of change, balancing a checkbook. The techbook has square roots, CUBE roots (not even in curriculum), and rational/irrational (but nothing on the rest of the real number system). Super helpful. We were sort of excited about the online assessments with the techbook but when we tried to create one, not only does it not have questions relating to about 85% of the unit, but the questions it does have are repetitive and either ridiculously easy or ridiculously hard.[/quote]
