[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm on the curriculum night presentation, and the math specialist for MCPS who is presenting said that AIM is still based on 2.0, that the Johns Hopkins curriculum assessment found there were gaps in the curriculum so some schools (but not all schools) are supplementing with additional Illustrative Mathematics lessons. She said that this is on each school/teacher; central office is not providing a list of supplementary materials. She said she did not have a list of schools that are supplementing, so parents can only find out if they ask the school itself.

Can MS math teachers talk about how AIM is implemented and how kids are doing? It seems like it would be very difficult to teach with a curriculum that has been proven to have gaps.[/quote]

Didn't know but AIM seemed to be the best math course DC ever had in MCPS up until magnet math.[/quote]

Yes, AIM is the best math course MCPS has to offer. I hope they keep it.[/quote]

Can you say more about what makes AIM good? And it sounds like they are keeping AIM for 6th graders, but they plan to get rid of IM for 7th.[/quote]
