2017-11-09
[FOX] One-third of high schools in Baltimore, last year, had zero students proficient in math, Fox 45 reported Wednesday, citing new state testing data.

Based on 2017 state test scores, 13 out of 39 high school had zero students proficient in math, the report said. Another six schools had only one percent of their students who tested proficient in math.

The city reportedly starting a new math curriculum this year aimed at closing the achievement gap in addition to enhanced teacher training and partnerships that would serve students.

"There is no simple answer that will close the achievement gap for Baltimore’s students. Though we all want to see results quickly, the work is hard and will take time," the Baltimore City Public Schools District statement said.

#2  To be effective, math must be tailored to needs:

If your '9' magazine holds 17 rounds, how many times can you reload from a box of 50 cartridges ?

Two boxes of 50 cartridges ?

A case of 1000 cartridges ?
