[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]From the MCPS website... What is the design of the compacted courses? The content of 12 marking periods (Math 4, 5, 6) is kept in sequence and compacted into the eight marking periods across Grades 4 and 5. At the end of 5th grade they will be 1 year ahead. That means Math 7 in 6th grade, IM in 7th grade and Algebrain 8th grade. To get to Algebra in 7th grade you have to get through Math 7 in 5th grade or skip IM.[/quote] I may be wrong (I often am) but aren't they phasing IM out? I thought the theory was IM was introduced because they allegedly moved so quickly in math that they needed IM as a "catch up" review of math concepts. Under this "deeper understanding", the theory is that they won't need that.[/quote]
