It’s a new system to replace the middle-school version of Everyday Math (which has been in use for a while, as you said). Superintendent Arcodia suggested the new system was closer to the core standards the state is requiring.

I’m not certain of the name (I’m not on the Curriculum Committee). I’ll try to get it and get back to you.

The board had similar questions.

The goal is to get those questions answered by teachers (who have run both the middle-school Everyday Math equivalent and the pilot program using the proposed new system) before deciding whether to move forward.

Quite a few years ago, Barrington switched to the Everyday math system – starting with grade 1 and I believe up to grade 6 (maybe higher now) so it was consistant. If you switch now grade 6′s system of math, how will that affect grades 1 – 5 that have been taught everyday math? Will there be chaos in the 6th grade math similar to the year when everyday math was introduced and was the first year the teacher had taught that method? I really hope that if the district changes, they better prepare their math instructors before they unleash it on the students.

Woodland currently uses the same system as Haddon Heights. The district is looking at moving to a new system. The question is whether the new system is better or not.

Also, Woodland scored quite well in math in the recent NJ ASK tests — 86% scored proficient or better, a result that was better than 81 percent of other schools in NJ: http://barringtonbulletin.com/2013/04/29/woodland-school-lauded-for-high-performance-in-comparison-to-other-n-j-schools/

The results were very similar for Haddon Heights, where 88 percent scored proficient or better. While a greater percentage scored proficient or better, those results are better than only 55 percent of other schools in NJ: http://barringtonbulletin.com/2013/05/01/report-calls-haddon-heights-high-school-below-average-in-comparison-to-peer-schools/

Oh good, so Barrington will continue to fall behind Heights in math scores. Yay?
