Petition for Alternative Math Curriculum

Linn-Mar School District

I am (check one)

___ a parent of a child ___ a concerned citizen

residing in the Linn-Mar School District.

I am concerned about weaknesses in the Math Trailblazers curriculum that Linn-Mar plans to adopt. I request that the District offer an alternative elementary math curriculum which is based on the explicit teaching of math concepts, algorithms, and mastery of math facts. Examples of content based math curricula include:

Saxon Math

Sadlier/Oxford: Progress in Math

Singapore Math
