Our district also uses every day math. My son's rit score in Spring math NWEA MAP was 262. It was a huge improvement since fall. He did a little Alek online after fall which seemed to help. He takes math in Spanish which is not his native language so I think it helped with vocabulary. Our district uses 250 as the minimum to have the opportunity to test out of pre-algebra. It's a fairly high performing district.
Eveyday math uses a spiral idea... touching on a concept and then revisitng again later. Your story is interesting because I would assume the teacher distrcit would use a high RIT score to argue Everyday Math is fabulous. (I am not sure I agree..)
Did anyone else see a big difference this year between Fall and Spring?
