[quote=Anonymous][quote]Hmmm. My 2nd grader is doing on-level 2.0 math ---- and so his his 1st grade cousin (at a Title I school). To clarify: my 1st grade nephew is doing the same math as my 2nd grader (different schools --- both with 2.0). So obviously the kids are being challenged. I'm probably in the minority of MoCo parents since I am willing to admit my kid is average when it comes to academics. The new curriculum is meant to ensure that all kids are taught on the appropriate level as opposed to the old MCPS days where they would push kids to quickly cover some random math gimmick and then move on without the kids really learning much of the basics. And to the PP who posted a sample 2nd grade math worksheet: Is your kid in a low math group? My totally average 2nd grader is doing triple digit addition and subtraction (as is my 1st grade nephew at a Title I school). [b]And my son has begun multiplication. Multiplication in 2nd grade seems advanced to me --- I never did multiplication in 2nd grade in the private school I attended a million years ago.[/quote]  [/b]

I you surprised what second graders are doing today may seem advanced in comparison to the days of the cave woman?  Progress does include the intellectual or mental variety.
