[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PPs for whoever is curious, someone went through the 2023-2024 standards versus the 2024-2025 standards for 3rd and identified the differences.

The cause is a tiny bit the 2023 math standards from VDOE but mostly what looks like the E3 pilot becoming the model throughout FCPS.

Pretty surprised more 3rd grade and under parents aren't upset about this. Though I will say one advanced math teacher who was part of the E3 pilot said her kids did [i]better[/i] on the SOL after E3 than before.[/quote]

Originally E3 was named “Equity Cubed,” but it was later re-named to the “E3 Alliance.”  It was developed in several Texas public school districts.

Essentially, E3 aims to “open up advanced math to everyone.”  Sounds great.

However, to accomplish that goal  (combine general education with advanced math), the school must eliminate separate advanced or math, and reduce the difficulty of math used in AAP, so that general education kids have a chance at grasping it.

E3 also requires the slower pace usually used in general education.  This slower pace covers less material than AAP used to cover.  The county touts this slower pace as “going deeper.”[/quote]
