[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wait what? "will be requiring [b]300 minutes of math a week [an hour a day][/b] in grades K-8 starting in 2027, [b]which is way more than middle schools offer currently[/b]" Why aren't middle schools offering an hour a day of math? Students in middle school are there from 8:15-3:00. That is 6 hours and 45 minutes. Why can't math be an hour a day? What also would be better would be to have actual math textbooks with WORKED EXAMPLES, direct instruction and workbooks like every other country that is highly ranked in math. [/quote] The issue is the period schedule and the fact that not all kids are taking math at the same time — I’m not sure how you make math longer without making every class longer, which reduces the total number of classes the kids can take. If you could magically make math 60 minutes for everyone but keep 6 other classes, I think most of us wouldn’t have a problem.[/quote]
