Parents get look at new math courses
In anticipation of Common Core State Standards, Fairfield City schools in Ohio are piloting math programs and spending more time on the material at all grade levels. In kindergarten through fifth grade, the math programs being used now include Investigations, Go Math and Math in Focus, while students in grades six through eight are learning with Math in Focus, Big Ideas and Digits, the majority of which is online. "Instead of one unit, teachers are looking at half the year looking at fractions. That's what they mean by going deeper. It's learning something, learning it to mastery, and then building on that," said Debi Freimuth, an instructional specialist for the district.
