I wouldn't. Let your kids be kids. If they are really math geniuses that will be evident later. Don't set your kids up for a miserable HS experience. |
What MAP scores do you need in 3rd grade to get into compacted math in 4th grade, does anyone know?
|
Isn't it 210ish in winter? That is 85%ile. Or each school has different cut-off? |
Being stuck in unnecessary remedial classes is a miserable experience too. |
Does anyone else know if this is right? Are there kids at or above this level who were not recommended for Math 4/5? |
85%ile "locally normed" is for 6th grade magnet lottery. 85%ile nationally normed (MAP 210) would be at the very low end for acceleration, subject to parent/teacher discretion and commitment to work hard to stay on track For context, 10% of students nationally (90%ile) reach AP Calculus, which would mostly be AMP 6+, AMP 7+, then Algebra 1 in 8th, which gets the low end of Compacted 4/5, 5/6 students and the high end of non-Compacted students. |
When my kid was in ES, 50% (2 of 4 classes) were compacted math. I don't know what was the cut off though. |
