    I think somewhere in the G&T lore, this point gets muddled.

    I think this is my problem here.... how do I fix it? Or get the teacher to see that it's not working?

    Note I said I was blue in the face.

    I have the greatest impact when I remind educators of this in the problem solving and planning stages.

    I would probably discuss this point with the teacher if you could have a conversation with her about your daughter's progress in math.

    Unless something's changed in the last few years, Everyday Math workbooks, by the way, are not designed to be used independently, and are broadly indecipherable without the teacher's manual. This approach of working ahead should be brought to the principal as part of that parent discussion.

    Thank you for the advice, I will definitely mention this to the parents if I end up not going to that meeting.
