What books are they using? If they are using Turk or Everyday Mathematics be warned. They use these up here in many of the Washington schools. We had a hard time helping my son with his 2nd grade homework, us not understanding the algoryhtms.

We raised such a fuss about it they finally dropped them for this year.

I’d like to know what books they’re using, too.

The last I’d read, CA approved Singapore Math to be used as a math curriculum. It’s supposed to be a superior curriculum. We’ve never tried it, but I’ll be very surprised if this is a problem from one of those books.
