[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]?  I thought they got rid of 2.0 after the JHU study?[/quote]

Not for all courses apparently. According to the presentation last night, the only middle school and high school classes that use illutrative mathematics are 6, 7, 8, 6+, 7+, and Algebra 1. All other classes, including AIM, use 2.0. But they said that there is widespread recognition (due to JHU study) that 2.0 isn't meeting needs, which is why some schools supplement AIM with some extra units from illustrative mathematics. But apparently central office doesn't know which schools are and aren't doing this, and they aren't providing schools with guidance on how to supplement. [/quote]
at the risk of sounding stupid, what is AIM math? Prealgebra?[/quote]

Yes, it's Pre-Algebra. It stands for Applied Investigations in Math.[/quote]

More specifically, it compresses math 7 and math 8 together. Interestingly, MCPS says they are getting rid of IM (offered to 7th graders) but not AIM (offered to 6th graders) because of the curriculum audit -- they can't remove it for 6th graders because that's an accelerated and enriched class for those who are waitlisted for magnets.[/quote]
