Common Core?  Building blocks math needs to be direct and succint. No funny business, no 10 days to dally about all week on the same topic. Get the building blocks done right and divide students by ability levels.  Norway, UK, Korea, CHina, Japan, Russia, Turkey, Brazil, etc. - all have more % enginering students than the US and can effectively teach math in to 4 year olds through 17 year olds.

I am wondering whether you have looked at the actual Common Core math standards? Here is a link:

http://www.corestandards.org/Math/

Common Core says that these standards are internationally benchmarked. I know from my own experience that they are quite comparable to the Singapore Math books for K-6. Common Core opponents say that they are not internationally benchmarked, but if the opponents then go on to explain how they're not benchmarked, I haven't seen it.

Also, I guarantee that no class in MCPS is spending 10 days to dally about all week on the same topic. Not one. [/quote]

Who cares what's on the list of standards if Maryland and moco can't implement or execute an effective teaching plan!
