At PS 6, they use TERC plus "normal" math. My kids are only in 1st grade, and have mastered the addition and subtraction tables up to 20, but the math curriculum is almost algebraic in nature. Took some time for ME to get used to it [ Reply | More ]

What does that mean, the curriculum is algebraic? [ Reply | More ]

The homework is often something like this: ____ + 8= 10. What's the answer? That's algebraic. [ Reply | More ]

Take deep breaths. I'm not a fan of TERC, but it's not going to ruin your kid's life. [ Reply | More ]

OP: I know it's not, and I do like many aspects of it, but there's a chance DH will get transferred this summer and I'm worried he'll be behind in a new curriculum. He was only required to learn his times tables up to 5!! (We learned them all of course) [ Reply | More ]

Up to 5? That's crazy. You're not supplementing at home? [ Reply | More ]
