Teachers say math transition to common core may be tough

ASCD SmartBrief | May 23, 2012

The switch to Common Core State Standards may be most difficult in middle-school math, say some New York City educators. Math concepts, which must build on one another sequentially, now will be taught in different grade levels, running the risk that some students will miss learning essential skills, they say. Administrators say the process will be difficult in the short term but will result in long-term gains. GothamSchools.org (New York) (05/22)
