[quote=Anonymous]Elementary school 2.0 math is horrible. It has nothing to do with whether a child will be tracked into Algebra or Calc in high school. On dumbing down, the amount of repetition, easiness of the problems, and holding kids back is really shocking and completely inappropriate. This isn't an issue of when they hit what math class in later grades its an issue of MCPS not building a foundation of strong math skills and conceptual understanding in elementary school. They are completely missing the relational aspects of math as a system, not developing fluency and actual number sense, and building a group of math illiterate students. Its a horrible curriculum. Just wait until you reach third grade where all of sudden demonstrating math understanding means writing essays and paragraphs about math. Children get rewarded for flowing, long texts that …I kid you not…..describe the concept incorrectly half the time. Yes, this is the deeper 2.0…deeper into the hole. [/quote]
