High School Math in Seattle

From Harium's Blog since May 2008 there are 227 comments addressed to high school math.
------------------------
Clearly the High School math adoption situation like almost all math direction in Seattle Schools is an on-going disaster.

Check the confusion for yourself.

    Oh hardly ....

    I can hardly wait for the end of the year Algebra I exam .... that will have box and whisker plot questions. This is not an internationally competitive change. It is just not as poor as before.

    Box plot ...

    whiskers from 0 to 25th percentile
    box from 25th to 75th percentile
    whisker from 75th to 99th.

    You can enter your stat list into the TI calc press a button and get the Box and Whisker plot and a five number summary.

    Does not sound like Algebra to me.
    How about you?
