[quote=Anonymous]DS moved to public school in 6th grade, coming from a parochial school without a gifted/talented program. He is pretty great at math, and familiar with many advanced topics, as he has been sitting with his older sister as she went through her own pre-algebra and algebra work. Still, not being in an AAP program means that his curriculum so far has not been preparing him for the test. He is identified as a Level 3 in Math this year, but that will only mean he will be ready for Math 7HN next year, not Algebra, as the Level 3 math is still taught by a non-AAP teacher. We moved him to the public system to give him a chance to advanced at a more accelerated pace in math, but are finding that these kids are already tracked so closely that switching tracks is pretty impossible to do. It seems to me that the Iowa algebra readiness test is actually a key step that would enable a kid to switch tracks. Any suggestions of programs that will help with this gap?[/quote]
