[quote=Anonymous]OP are you in MCPS?

MCPS 2.0 math aligned with Common Core is NOT singapore math. Singapore math uses diagraming and deconstructing approaches but it follows a logical order. Its based on the idea that you must master one level before moving onto another level. Everyday Math is another type of math that is based on the idea that you present a few concepts lightly and then keep cycling around. If someone doesn't get it the first time they will eventually get it on the 12th try. Everyday Math is more language based and simplistic.

MCPS 2.0 looks like they randomly took a few of the strategies from Singapore, decided to dump the idea of presenting progressively harder problems or any type of mastery and then applied the EveryDay Spiral approach with no plan in place on how any of this would line up. This is just ridiculously confusing for kids, parents, and anyone with a brain.

It analogous to deciding to teach kids to write using Chinese grammar, German vocabulary and Arabic symbols. You end up with gibberish.

Forget the MCPS math homework and start teaching them math at home. [/quote]
