[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]BTW, I think MCPS math is very much of the reform flavor. [/quote] Evidence, please. Which is to say -- evidence other than "sometimes the worksheets in elementary school ask you to explain how you got the answer in words".[/quote] Oh, where to begin, "conceptual understanding," "real world application," "making sense of the math," and yes, using English to explain math. I am all explaining your answer when there is something to explain. Not 4+2=6. [/quote] I meant real actual evidence. Not "MCPS uses some of the same phrases that "reform math" uses." Unless you think that wanting children to have a conceptual understanding, be able to apply the math to real-world examples, and make sense of the math are inherently bad, which I assume you don't.[/quote]
