1trailmaker Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 FORD to move MATH back to the original FAIL method of teaching. Is this guy going to revert everything back to pre everything When the Math scores don't improve (which they will not) is this FORDS fault or are we still blaming WYNNE This guys is fucked in the head Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1trailmaker Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 FORD thinks Teachers don't understand simple Elementary Math This is the reason for the math marks that have failed since the beginning of time What a waste of time and money The province wants to move towards all teachers in Grades 6, 7, and 8 holding a math qualification by the 2020-21 school year.

Unlike Wynnee, your hero, at least Ford is listening and trying to do something to improve math scores/levels with kids in Ontario. I guess you don't think that's a good thing? "What is missing from Ontario's math curriculum? Some Ontario teachers say the key is to go back to focusing on basic skills and concepts. "As the province prepares to embark on a complete "curriculum refresh" hoping to address years of slumping math scores, several Ontario educators say the key is going back to basics" ""If you look at the demographics of our elementary teachers, we have stats that show our Grade 3 and Grade 6 teachers, four out of five of them have no post-secondary math courses under their belt. That's like 80 per cent," she said" https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/math-curriculum-refresh-1.4280968 “Math scores are going up in Quebec, they’ve gone up in P.E.I. — actually they’ve gone up in every single province except Ontario,” he said. “Here our kids are failing their test because Kathleen Wynne has failed our kids.” Instead of discovery math, Ford said Ontario schools need to get back to teaching the basics. “Kids used to learn math by doing things like memorizing a multiplication table, and it worked,” Ford said. “Instead, our kids are left with experimental discovery math. That hardly teaches math at all. Instead, everyone gets a participation ribbon and our kids are left to fend for themselves.” Reid said that math education is incomplete without both forms being taught together. “Arithmetic is absolutely important, but knowing when to apply those skills in a rich problem environment — that’s when you become a mathematician,” she said. Overall, the report found that from 2010 to 2016, “mathematics achievement in Canada increased by 11 points,” but that “all provinces showed improvement, with the exception of Ontario, where results remained the same as those in the baseline year.” https://globalnews.ca/news/4200010/doug-ford-discovery-math-ontario-election/ "With luck, maybe kids will learn fractions again: It’s time Ontario education got back to basics" So what do teachers learn in teachers’ college? Not much about math. While Quebec teaching candidates usually get at least 140 hours hours of math training, many Ontario students get no more than 40 hours. Provincial math committees repeatedly urged the previous Liberal government to make reforms, but to no avail. Instead of adding math, Ms. Brown, says, the schools added courses in gender studies. That’s no surprise. For the past 15 years of Liberal government, education policy in Ontario has been excruciatingly progressive. https://www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/article-its-time-ontario-education-got-back-to-basics/ Edited March 14, 2019 by irv Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Counter productive just like the Sex Ed thing Tell me something, do you think memorizing the Periodic table is important so much of the tried and true is useless then and more useless now The important thing here we never speak of is the great Math Students we do have the complete world wide - same system same teachers .....

Truth of the matter is, he is doing something that should have been done long ago. Wynnee's plan,,,,,,,,, aah,,,,,,,,, who needs math,,,,,,,,,, lets increase gender studies. Education advocates are giving the Ford government a thumbs-up on plans to revamp Ontario’s math curriculum. “One third of those teachers that are teaching the Grade 6 math test, they failed the test as well. https://torontosun.com/news/provincial/lilley-math-changes-get-thumbs-up Edited March 15, 2019 by irv Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
