[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Oh it gets worse. 27 schools are piloting algebra 1 in 6th grade next year. Multiple middle schools are doing honors math for all (no more math 7, math 7 honors is the lowest option in 7th grade).[/quote] As an Algebra teacher to 8th graders who are incredibly ill prepared when coming straight from Math 7, I fully support Math 7H as being the only option in 7th grade. If you're going to push kids into Algebra in 8th, you've got to shift every grade below it to build up to that. This is where FCPS has failed in their Algebra for All initiative. They have simply told the middle schools "get your numbers up" but not done anything to actually support the kids being READY to take Algebra by 8th. [/quote] This. They should be putting in more supports in ES. We are losing our math resource teacher this year. [/quote]
