MON, thanks for that. The weird thing in our district is that the kids who are now in pre-algebra won't get Algebra immediately after we switch to CC-- they will go into "common core 8" and then Algebra in grade 9. They effectively lose a year, although the district is saying that that's not true because there's some algebra in CC8 and that what they are calling "Algebra" contains some of what used to be Algebra II. But then there's another year called Algbera II later.
It doesn't make sense to me yet, but I'm watching the transition.
