It’s sad that we have to celebrate that textbooks are coming back for some grades next year. How far have our schools fallen…

Kiddom math has not been reviewed by EdReports. Maybe some folks here can go look them over and report back here.

Amplify Desmos Math has excellent reviews from Ed Reports.

Caveat: I was only looking at Elementary math.

Whoever is responsible for this, THANK YOU! THANK YOU!!

This might be the lowest hanging fruit there is to improve math education in FCPS. Great Job FCPS!

They aren’t using it for their primary curriculum, at least at our school. It’s simply a resource book that doesn’t actually get used. With the basal readers, teachers will be required to used them as their main curriculum. They will be expected to use them daily is my guess.

This would be amazing. Do you have a link for this update?


We got an email explaining it. They included a link to the resources. I’ll see if I can post in.

Our school has algebra textbooks available for students to use. They are new this year through a pilot program. Families can request one. I think we’ve handed out 10.

Elementary is 26-27. Is that how long we have to wait for the textbooks?

Wish they would have gone back to printed text books, but an actual curriculum is better than the random packets even if online.
