[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Illustrative Math is pretty bad, but it's probably better than than the nothing that FCPS provides right now.

See this thread here: https://www.dcurbanmom.com/jforum/posts/list/15/1147118.page

where one of the posters compares Illustrative Mathematics' approach for direct proportion with that of Dimensions, a Singapore variant.

We switched to a Math In Focus (Singapore based) private school and I love it so much (once I wrapped my head around bar models). My kids have a textbook and a workbook and the concepts are really well taught just by the curriculum itself (as it points out in that link).

That said, Singapore Math really has it's own language/way of thinking and I cannot imagine bringing all the elementary schools in FCPS around quickly. They'd have to have more training days off - seriously.

Maybe there's a middle ground that's not Singapore but is still well done?[/quote]
