It seems like madness to choose a text and a program based upon comments from the lay public who are given a chance to thumb through a few random textbooks. Is that how YOU choose the texts for your classroom? Invite public comment and go with the majority? I want to see data from acknowledged experts in the field of math education. I by experts I mean mathematicians who study math education. Not D.Ed.s who "study" math.

Awesome, in fact. But, they won't pick it. They won't pick it because it takes teachers too long to get trained for it and the teachers themselves don't want to learn this superior way of doing math and everyone gets frustrated and caves in two years because it is a commitment. I've seen it happen in other districts and it is sad, really. If elementary teachers just knew a bit more math than they do now, and if they would be willing to give it a shot for 5 years, our kids would show gains on the tests and everyone would buy in to the program. <br />I really hope they get Singapore Math because that might mean the we get it down here and that would make my job as a middle school math teacher so much better.snapdragonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10052978249380402838noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7478606652950905956.post-26451342207938306942013-12-20T15:49:45.928-08:002013-12-20T15:49:45.928-08:001.5 inches Bellevue, near Phantom Lake.
