SAS math program

Post by pandaman » Tue, 18 Oct 2011 2:37 am

Sorry for my bad English. I am a chinese parent. My son is currently studying in the SAS. The school teaches everyday math (Chicago Math). I have seen several problems of the everyday math. There is a better math teaching method called singapore math. Can we ask school to use the singapore math instead of the everyday math from K-12? I want to know other SAS parents' opinions about your kids math study in the SAS. Thanks a lot.

Everyday Math is truly awful but I understand they are introducing Singapore math as a pilot program. I would contact the Board and ask them directly what their plan is for Math specifically. It's high time it got fixed.
