[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it's good to switch because if kids can't handle a minor change between two nearly identical curricula, it shows that they are missing something deeper that needs to be addressed. [/quote] How identical? Until the higher level courses, math tends to circle around and around, revisiting concepts and building year after year in a structured way. When one curriculum follows pathway A->B->C->D and the other goes 1->2->3->4, sometimes A->B->3->4 causes problems if 3=/=C. And all the other permutations. [/quote] They are both Common Core aligned. Math isn't that fragile. The cycling/spiraling works because everything makes more sense in context of everything else. It's harder the first time you see a concept, and easier the 2nd time. [/quote]
