[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I haven’t heard this, but as a current Pre Algebra teacher in MCPS, the pacing is SO FAST. It’s the 4th day of school and we are already behind where we should be. There is absolutely no room to slow down, review or reteach lessons. [/quote]

That is exactly what she said. Why is it that way? Why did mcps switch from AMP 7+ to pre algebra. This is the first year they are teaching this. What was wrong with AMP 7+?[/quote]

I thinks she wants a smaller class for her not the kids.  Mine skipped aim and it was fine.  [/quote]

People need to stop assuming that because it worked out for their kid that it will work out for all students.  Algebra1 MCAP scores, plus higher math district exams and teacher feedback prove that it isn’t.

Going from 5/6 to AMP 7+ requires that the teacher account for the missed content or that the student be able to someone easily grasp what was skipped. Math is a subject that builds upon itself.

Also, I can totally understand teachers wanting smaller classes.  My kids AMP8+ class had 36 students. [/quote]

I assume you mean AMP 7+. [/quote]
