Hello! I have a child who will be entering public elementary school soon. I am having trouble navigating all the different math curriculums, and gaining an understanding of what the children will actually be learning AND retaining.
I struggled significantly in elementary school math because they had just implemented the "Saxon" Math approach to teaching. We did multiple math subjects every day so I never was never able to fully grasp and master one math subject at a time. How can you multiply and divide if you don't even have a full understanding of addition and subtraction at 6 years old? This then left me in a cycle of their special education program for math, which was just as terrible and I really didn't need it.
I fear the same issues for my children's math education, as it seems each elementary school has its own math curriculum and I'm struggling to know which one is actually researched and the best way to learn math. I am not a teacher but I feel spending a generous amount of time on one math concept is the best way to lay a foundation into more advanced concepts. Example: First-grade addition, Second-Grade subtraction, and so on with exploration into more advanced problems within those subjects per the child's ability.
I would be so thankful if someone could help break down the differences between some of the current Kindergarten-4th grade math teaching styles/curriculums and what you personally have found that children really succeed with. Would a charter school be better?
Thank you for reading!
