This video is very clear about the goal to detrack K-10. They only backed off of this because of public outcry. It’s revisionist history to say that detracking wasn’t the explicit goal of the VMPI. [/quote]

Detracking was one of multiple ideas that were floated around over a year ago and it was squashed 9+ months ago. It was never core enough to make the infographic, even back then, but calculus was always there.

The clear goals that *did* make the infographic were adding new math tracks for data/stats/etc as well as blending AGA.

Continuing to focus on this one, minor component that [u]was already eliminated[/u] from consideration 9+ months ago is purely pushing GOP propaganda.

Ok, so this infographic shows Foundational Math Concepts for K-7 and Essential Math Concepts for 8-10.

- The VMPI initiative imagines math instruction for students that integrates existing math content into blended courses for students typically in grades 8-10.
 - The content from Algebra 1, Geometry, and Algebra 2 is not being eliminated by VMPI, but rather the content of these courses will be blended into a seamless progression of connected learning. This encourages students to connect mathematical concepts and develop a much deeper and more relevant understanding of each concept within its context and relevance.

How does that work without making all kids take the same courses in Math 8, 9, and 10? Do advanced students take Math 8 in grade 7? Are there multiple versions of Math 9? This is still assuming no tracking without saying no tracking.
