[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is the problem this is trying to solve?[/quote] A three-year sequence rearranges content so that students have geo and algebra each year — so there is not a one-year gap between the end of algebra 1 and the start of algebra 2, which is a reason some students who were successful with A1 struggle wuth A2. The two-year MD sequence though is trying to cover just the basics so that students who will not take calc are not covering standards that aren’t relevant to them. They can pursue other courses after integrated algebra 2 rather than preparing for precalc. I guess the problem as they see it is that many students struggle with this content. They want to provide them with alternative choices. -OP[/quote] Thanks for the explanation. The idea of removing the 1 year gap between Algebra 1/2 makes sense to me; condensing 3 years’ worth of math into 2 years at that level (elementary is different) does not.[/quote]
