TERC/Investigations .. long term happiness??
Here is a link to an interesting attempt to gain ideas about the continuing use of TERC/Investigations in TERC happy districts.
This is a great site for concerned parents (who else cares?!) - someone wanted to verify that the 66 districts listed on TERC's own website who adopted Math Investigations were still using MI.
And wouldn't you know from the half that responded - 3/4's had gone back to using traditional textbooks.
Its a hoax! Math Investigations is the Piltdown Man of mathematics (a pig's knuckle).
