[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]CC math is repeating some of the mistakes we made in the past--cyclical instruction. That is one of the reason that our math scores fell. Look it up.[/quote] This isn't true. It may be that some school districts have chosen more cyclical programs, such as Saxon, but the standards themselves are significantly less cyclical than the previous standards. For example, under the previous standards in most states, identifying and counting coins was taught in small increments each year starting in Kindergarten. Under the CCSS work with coins happens in 2nd grade, where kids study coins from identification to counting combinations to using this information to solve word problems. One of the big ideas of the Common Core is that each year kids learn fewer topics in greater depth, the opposite of a cyclical program.[/quote]
