What proposed changes do you feel will strengthen math instruction? |
There is not enough time to spend on Fractions ,there seems to be a gap from fifth grade. Student have no idea of how to do operations with simple same denominator.
What does move to Curriculum Framework mean?
I question whether the students will have enough practice with 6.10 from just moving that to fifth grade. This is a hard objective for the students ; they do not get this quickly.
Grade 7: The properties 7.3, are difficult for seventh grade to grasp quickly. Would rather be introduced in sixth and continued to or enhanced in seventh grade.
I feel there were too many objectives in the 2008-2009 SOL and if this would concise them and make them flow a little easier to allow for students to see how one is "hooked' to another that would be great. I think there is too much leaving one objective and starting another; there is not enough time to see how they blend together. A nice open pacing guide would be nice to allow for blending.
