Dear Betty,
I couldn't agree with you more. I love Math and feel that I understand
it and yet I find the manuals confusing as well. Overall, I think more
graphics, visuals and examples are needed. Also, Investigations should
supply an answer key and a rubric for assessments. We give kids all
these assignments, activities, and assessments and yet there is not
much guidance for assessing the results. For these reasons, I think
CMP is a little easier to read. If you haven't looked at a CMP
teachers manual, you should as it is very similar to Investigations
and was designed by the same people.
I hope CESAME , TERC, and Dale Seymour listen to our consructive
criticism.
Peace,
