[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What are your 4th graders learning in math? My son attends a "good" elementary school in
FCPS (recently awarded Blue Ribbon but not sure that actually means anything). He told me he's bored out of his mind during math as they're doing 3-digit addition. What are your 4th graders learning in math currently? [/quote]

The "good" schools have the same curriculum as "bad" schools. Supplement at home [/quote]

It does seem that way more and more. Very few private schools use something enriched, the good ones maybe accelerate a little more, but they all seem to use the boring as he|| Eureka, enVision, Illustrative Mathematics, and Zearn, curricula. Eureka is single handedly making a whole generation of Americans want to become humanities majors. How many different ways can you solve  14 - 8 before you gouge your eyes out? A kindergartner can solve this with an abacus, a third grader needs to move on.[/quote]

My 4th grader is working on area and perimeter… figuring out the sides of a rectangle when some information is missing. It’s the Eureka 4/5 curriculum (still in 4, now). She seems interested, enough and says math is her best subject. I like Eureka. The workbooks the kids bring home make it very easy to help.[/quote]
