fall & winter Map M score are the same

[Anonymous]

DD is 2nd grader, and she told me she got same score from yesterday's winter 2023 MAP M test (read from screen) compared to fall 2023 MAP M test. What does that mean? Does that mean she is not improving or making progress? She is considered above grade level, 220. I have been debating if it is because I don't give her math enrichment at home which maybe I should have done.

The teacher probably prefers to see growth, but if DD is above grade level then it's not a concern. I don't recall what percentile a 220 would be, but if she's far above grade level then likely she is encountering concepts they haven't been taught yet and thus the score means nothing.

2nd graders dont take MAP M. They take MAP P. MAP M is grades 3-5.

If this isn't just a troll thread, you're going to see this kind of unexpected lack of growth in RIT scores at very high levels. That could be because of natural variation from test to test or because instruction in the interim has been on grade-appropriate but lower level topics.

For a second grader, 205 would start the 99th percentile in the fall and 214 would in winter. Don't sweat it unless you think your DD has such math ability & interest as to consider moving her up a grade. If she's complaining, independent of any push, that math is too simple or boring, have a discussion with the teacher and/or math specialist about employing more enrichment options. That should be more than just worksheets.

If you think they need enrichment, then go ahead and add it. If not, then imo let them have time to themselves.

In-school enrichment. If they're in school, time should be spent learning, and schools should be facilitating that with enrichment options. "Time to themselves" shouldn't be the routine, though I think it's fine as an occasional reward.

Out of school? Unless the second grader is wandering off to find Leibniz when they happen to be at the local library, sure, let them have time to themselves!

That’s not my approach with my kids, but whatever floats your boat.

Clearly you didn't prep your kid.
