The days of flats, skinnies and bits will soon be coming to an end in Wake's elementary schools.

As noted in today's article, a textbook selection committee of parents, teachers and principals has recommended using Math Expressions as the new K-5 math textbook. The committee didn't recommend using an updated version of the controversial Math Trailblazers textbook that introduced parents to terms such as flats and skinnies.

The new textbook is billed as offering a more traditional approach to teaching math while including some of the concepts of Trailblazers.
