New Report on Math Curriculum and Teaching
This report just came out from the United States Department of Education National Mathematics Advisory Panel. We recommend that anyone interested in education in SRR needs to download and read this report and then take a look at the mathematics curriculum in our district.
For those that have posted here in the past regarding the institution of a traditional algebra course for 9th graders, this is too late for most interested in Engineering, Sciences, Mathematics, computer science, information technology and the Medical fields.
Also take note that SRR is not offering the traditional Geometry course in 2009, which would be the logical next step for those students that were taking the traditional Algebra course. We challenge anyone to please find evidence in this report that we should be encouraging the CMP and IMP math curricula that are currently in place. Much more to come on this issue in upcoming posts….
