[quote=Anonymous]OP, I have a first grade son who also received that box checked in kindergarten and now in first grade. I asked the first-grade teacher what exactly it meant earlier this year, because my kid was saying math was easy and we were routinely doing math for fun with him at home (just silly word problems aloud, but stuff to get him thinking).  She said they were working on a schedule to do pull-out math enrichment once a week but they needed to coordinate schedules with 3 other classrooms and their specials (PE, etc) so it was hard to set up. In the meantime, she said she was individually giving my kid and others who needed it enrichment during their math group time with her. So they have math groups every day they spend some time (I think about 20 minutes) with the teacher at the table, and then spend the rest of the hour cycling through math centers. At that teacher-led time, she said she's giving my kid more challenging problems as she sees he's ready for them (they still haven't managed to organize the schedules for pull-out enrichment, which I do find disappointing.)

My kid goes to a Focus school in Silver Spring near the Beltway. There are 18 kids in his class--I don't know if you could do this type of thing with a bigger class.

I see his math work a few times a month when the teacher sends completed work home. There is no math homework other than a calendar given out monthly with a super easy task for each day. [/quote]
