[quote=Anonymous][quote]2.0 is MPCS's curriculum to meet Common Core standards. CC standards for math seeks to push critical thinking and reasoning rather than just rote memorization. How 2.0 math achieves these standards has been very controversial, well, so has CC in general. Personally, I think some of the push for critical thinking and reasoning in math is good. Some of the ways it's been executed is bad, but this seems to be school and/or teacher specific as well.[/quote]

Just threw up……

OP this is the PR bull shit that MCPS and a few dumber than dumb parents who just parrot whatever MCPS says will tell you. 2.0 math is a disaster. Your child is probably struggling because its a mixed up shit bag of stupidity. Its terribly confusing for kids that aren't super math oriented because it presents math in no logical order repeats very easy problems over and over again but expects the students to go through very unintuitive, cumbersome, and illogical processes for that type of problem. The kids must follow the teacher step by step and remember all the ridiculous steps because their are either no instructions on the homework sheet or very vague ones.

OP for second grade you could try a math after school activity, Mathnasium or even Kumon. MCPS types love to bash Kumon but for kids who struggle having a strong foundation in the basics and understanding the relationship between those equations is very helpful. [/quote]
