Here they say they have shifted things around a lot, so that the content of the courses is no longer what you would expect from the names. That said, I will be watching closely to make sure that "common core 8" really does look like "algebra 1" to me, as promised.
And yes, based on reading the above, going to be watching geometry extra closely too. I value the logic teaching that is supposed to come with math. Sigh.
MON, here, the shift was moving material earlier in the curriculum, not later. The shift you describe sounds like the opposite of what our district claims to be doing. To meet the same standards. Curiouser and curiouser.
