Georgia's New Math Standards Challenge Students and TeachersAccording to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Georgia's board of education unanimously approved new math standards that will combine algebra, geometry and statistics into one integrated curriculum, as opposed to teaching each topic separately. The new, more rigorous curriculum will require all high school students to take the equivalent of Algebra II and will also pose a challenge to veteran math teachers who have taught to the old standards for years. Despite the unanimous vote, some education officials were concerned about the significant training these teachers will have to undergo in order to become comfortable with the new model. The integrated approach is based on a Japanese model that is not commonly found in U.S. schools, but has been growing in popularity in recent years.
