MAPs - 2nd grade

[Anonymous]

Is it typical for a MAPS math score to stay relatively the same from test to test at the 2nd grade level? (This is around 95-99%) My assumption is that the kid is rushing through it and not paying a lot of attention to it, but are there other reasons? And does the score actually matter to the individual student?

Yeah, it's normal. In that percentile, you're beyond what the kids learn in class, so it comes down to semi-random chance about whether or not the harder questions are something your child has seen before or can figure out on their own. Like my DS can probably figure out basic algebra on his own (3x - 4 = 2; what is x) but wouldn't know geometry equations.

Not op, can you give me an example of geometry equation? My kid got high score on geometry area, but I am not sure what that mean.

For a second grader is guess it’s something like identifying shapes.
