[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just had the MS overview for my 5th grader today. They're starting the new Integrated Algebra 1 and 2 from next year at our MS (Cabin John.) From their pathway overview, Integrated Algebra 2 will be followed by Precalculus. Seems like they're just cutting a bunch of stuff for the calc-bound kids? (Not that MCPS was doing great before, but I trust them even less to implement this.) Somehow RSM is able to implement 3 years of Algebra and Geometry, but MCPS isn't (yes yes I know it's easier to teach to a more homogenous group, but still, this is how many countries do it.)[/quote]

Integrated math won't roll out anywhere next year. It rolls out the following year (FY 2027-2028).

And this isn't an MCPS decision. It came from the state. MCPS would not change this if it didn't have to. I hope they will add a course before precalc, because kids are already struggling with the three-year sequence. They are especially going to struggle with just 2.[/quote]

Sorry, I guess I didn't explain it properly. My 5th grader won't have it next year, but some current 5th graders (including probably her, given her good MAP-M scores) will be in Integrated Algebra starting in 7th grade, after a year of pre-algebra. So it will roll out with her cohort, some of whom will be on track to take Precalc in 9th, after 2 years of Integrated Algebra, whereas in the past it would have 2 years of Algebra and 1 of Geometry. (I guess that I did assume that they're rolling it out for some current 7th graders next year at Cabin John, but I probably misunderstood.)[/quote]
