I think DOE should adopt Singapore math for all DOE schools and ditch TERC. [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

eh, no. TERC has its purpose. It is just not the right method for all children. Neither is Singapore math. [ Reply | More

NP: Sure, but we should pick a program that is good for most students. Judging by the results, Singapore overperforms TERC. [ Reply | More

From experience I have to disagree that Singapore is the best program for *most* students. TERC is so much better in teaching just enough math to function well in our society. The problem is that it seems that the school system is fine with this relatively low goal. What is needed something that builds on top of this for the kids who are less mathematically challenged and need to go deeper. [ Reply | More
