[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Integrated math is taught poorly and doesn’t go in depth. Most district that try it switch back to Algebra and Geometry.[/quote] But the question is, why is it taught poorly? [/quote] Because there’s not enough time to go in depth, so the teacher does a quick review of a small number of topics each year. As mentioned in the thread, other integrated math classes like IB are not very good. High level classes like AP Calculus and Statistics are focused on an overarching theme. For building connections it’s easy to set a few hours to study for example applications of algebra in geometry. For integrated math there’s no opportunity to accelerate, which dissuades top students from following that route. [/quote]
