[quote=Anonymous]I went to high school in a state with a traditional math curriculum, but I went to college at an engineering school in New York state, so my classmates were mostly from New York State public schools which offered an integrated math curriculum. From years of study groups and my now DH, I have a strong impression that the integrated curriculum was a whole lot weaker and less rigorous than what I learned, but also that the students who had taken a mixed up curriculum had no idea what they knew and didn't know. They couldn't identify something as algebra, statistics, trigonometry, geometry, or any particular type of math. They knew lots of random bits of stuff without knowing how it fit together or how it built on itself. Given that experience, I have a strong preference for a curriculum that builds linearly instead of jumping all over the place at random.[/quote]
