[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]New poster here. Do your kids get homework worksheets for math at all? My kid is in K at TPES and there's no homework other than some suggestions on activities at home.  
OP, do you mind sharing what school your child is at, or what his/her math score was on the recent test? I'm curious at what level they start enrichment.[/quote]

This is OP.  My son does not get homework.  I think we are supposed to read books, though.  My son's school is close to downtown Silver Spring.

My son's MAP score in Fall was 142 (average), and as I wrote, he did not receive enrichment in MP1 (or maybe nobody receive enrichment in MP1 in kindergarten??).  My son likes learning so I started to give him printouts with math equations.  He quickly advanced in a few months.  Now he is talking about multiplication, which he learned from peeking older kids' homework in the after-school program.  No, he does not understand multiplication much, but he is asking me to teach him.

My son knows above-grade-level math because he does a lot of study at home (and it's easier to get advanced at this age).  His teacher does not know that he studies a lot, and might think he is somewhat gifted, but no, many kids who is willing to spend 40 min a day doing addition and subtraction will get better at it.

For those who said that I should ask his teacher ---  My son's teacher does not respond to email except when it is important.  I figured the teacher is busy and cannot respond to all the emails from parents, so I only communicate with her when it is critical.
