(From Leesburg Today) - "Loudoun County Public Schools administrators are holding a series of meetings to brief parents on the Investigations math program that will be used as the primary curriculum at a small number of elementary schools.

Investigations is a K-5 mathematics curriculum, developed at TERC in Cambridge, MA. It is designed to help all children understand the fundamental ideas of number and operations, geometry, data, measurement and early algebra through the use of inquiry activities.

Parent meetings will include information about research available about the program and a description of the outcomes administrators will measure to determine whether to continue or expand use of the curriculum.

The first parent meeting was held Feb. 11 at Rolling Ridge Elementary School. Upcoming meetings will be held at Tolbert ES Feb. 25, Hutchison ES Feb. 28, Sanders Corner ES March 10 and Round Hill ES March 27. All meetings begin at 6:30 p.m.

Well, we'll have to balance this meeting against the ever popular Modern Loudoun Moms Meetup event at San Vito's in South Riding, the same night! (By the Modern Loudoun Moms Magazine folks).
