I. A 4th grade (TERC) Investigations homework assignment, assigned in early January:
If you were a foreign power intent on undermining the technological future of the U.S., which math curriculum would you hire conspirators to sell to the U.S. education establishment?

My daughter is homeschooled and uses the British math curriculum MEP. The TERC Investigations lesson looks a lot like what's coming up for her in a couple of weeks... at the end of the second grade book.
Oh, crap, I'm never going to be able to send her to public school, am I?
Rivka,
You have made a correct analysis. Successfully completing TERC grade 5 math materials prepares kids to enter grade 4 math in most programs. .... Of course that would be ready for the start of Singapore Math grade 3.
Katharine, your side-by-side comparisons of Singapore and fuzzy math is the reason I teach both my kids with Singapore. Thanks for that!
My younger daughter is in a public school that just brought in Investigations. In 2nd grade, it hasn't been too terrible, mostly shallow and not providing enough practice (I'm walking her through Singapore 1B at home). But in 4th grade they're doing 101 + 1? Holy cow.
