[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The math question posed is great, it forces the student to translate it into numbers (ie math) or the basic concept of numerical positioning.

What is not so great is the round about, silly ways that MoCo is told to instruct or teach numerical positioning or relationships, exponents or powers of 10. There are multiple ways of teaching it so the concept clicks for a young mind. And it is not the nonsense I've seen in my child's worksheets, most of which I've taken to time to explain differently.

Different people learn differently. We all know that.  I don't know how many kids found MCPS way of teaching it click or not, but personal experience, it clicked for my DC.  I think no matter how a school teaches a specific math concept, you will always find some that struggle to learn it that particular way.[/quote]

Are you talking about the new curriculum?  How do you find out how your P student is performing?[/quote]

PP you are asking.  I was referring to any curriculum, be it 2.0 or pre.

I know DC is a P or ES student in math because:

1.  I look at DC's HW and check the answers. 
2.  DC's teachers have always handed back HW and class work at the end of the week.  
3.  DC's test scores - although this is only once or twice a year, over the years it tells me that DC is good at math[/quote]
