[quote=Anonymous][quote]Last year, my then first grader in MCPS did all the math you listed, except the multiplication and division were not specifically called multiplication and division. It was disguised as skip counting exercises. [/quote] Congrats because your child will get to the same thing again in 2nd grade and again in 3rd grade. This is the problem. I didn't think 1st grade math was very challenging in 2.0. There were maybe 1 or 2 interesting things and everything else was material that DD learned in preschool. However, its first grade so I might be willing to give MCPS a pass on being challenging for 5 and 6 years olds. However, the poor kids have to do this stuff over and over and over again. They do it again in 2nd grade and I've heard from 3rd grade parents that they do the same stuff in this grade. The constant repetition of basic things that most kids figured out the first time pulls down the entire curriculum so 2.0 gets worse and worse with every year. [/quote]
