[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am just really glad that my kids will not be in the early cohort of integrated math. I think it's going to be a tough transition -- there is no clear curriculum so either the state or MCPS will have to put one together. And it's not clear to me what comes after in any of the 4 paths (even the calc path -- folks on this thread can't agree on what they will do). I'm sorry for those of you with kids who will be in integrated math in the first couple of years after it is offered.[/quote]

I agree. It's definitely going to be messy and unfortunately, MCPS struggles with mess and complexity. We're in for a doozy.[/quote]

As we’ve said, its doesn’t have to be messy. 3yr integrated math curriculum already exist.  They were already supposed to be evaluating the curriculum for advance classes like Pre-Cal.

Just take the 3yr integrated math.  Figure out what needs to be removed to make the 2yr integrated math. Find a more complete Pre-Calculus curriculum, likely one that includes Trig.

In the interim, talk to state about the 3yr IM to see if you can offer both 2yr and 3yr.

Also in the meantime, start the 3yr IM path this year so kids and teacher can begin getting use to the new Illustrative math curriculum and we would actually have data on how student do on the Algebra MCAP after 2 or 3 years.

Oh it's going to be messy. This is MCPS we are talking about.[/quote]
