Toronto District School Board reacts to declining EQAO math scoresAccording to the latest statistics, 62 per cent of students in Grade Three met or exceeded the provincial standard. That number is down one per cent from last year. By comparison, it is five per cent lower than it was five years ago. For the second year in a row, only half of Grade Six students in Ontario met or exceeded the standard. Over a five-year timeline, that number has fallen by seven per cent.
Private schools' take on math instructionTempers flared across Ontario last month when a report from the province's Education Quality and Accountability Office revealed that fully half of Grade 6 students failed to meet provincial mathematics targets. Educators, parents and media commentators called for immediate changes to the curriculum.
Чувачок вон что-то такое провякал, хотя непонятно что конкретно не так, и как конкретно это фиксить.
Why I quit teaching mathI found a sizable chunk of the math that I was forced to teach either a) boring; b) benign; c) banal; or d) Byzantine. When I see the flood of math articles about Ontario's low math scores, I put my head in my hands and worry my eyes might just roll too far back into my head. Every year is a contest to see who will win this year's huffing and puffing award about the province's low standardized test scores.
