Teacher here. The 3rd AAP standards were cut down a lot. Like it is basically third grade math with extensions. This is from the county pacing guides. [/quote]

It seems counterproductive for the county to slow the pacing of an “advanced” program. Shouldn’t the pacing be preparing a 3rd Grade AAP student to handle 4th Grade Advanced Math—which, according to the FCPS website, follows the regular 5th Grade curriculum? Have the standards been cut down for 4th Grade, or are they still following the Advanced Math pacing this year?[/quote]

Not teacher PP, but I assume the 4th grade standards will change to whatever E3 had next year. 5th grade I think (an E3 teacher can say for sure - I know there at least used to be some on here) is basically the same, but now they just have to cover a WHOLE lot more.[/quote]
So do you think that E3 is the policy now for all non-center schools?[/quote]

It's really, really unclear because this board has reported being told different things, but given 3rd grade teacher PP plus a historical comparison of last year's standards to this, it sure SEEMS likely that E3 is now advanced math EVERYWHERE starting with this 3rd grade cohort (4th and up are under the old standards). If anyone gets Kristen Maloney or the math lead for FCPS on the phone and asks, please do report back.

Some people say they were told last year that E3 would go everywhere this year. Some say they were told the standards have changed. Some say they were told the standards are still half of 4th grade math this year. Would be nice for interested parents to know.

FWIW there was one person on here who said she taught advanced math without E3 and then at an E3 pilot. She said 5th graders generally did [i]better[/i] on the 6th grade SOL in E3....I hate the idea of E3 with a passion but if it's working, then it's working.[/quote]
