[quote=Anonymous]Hi, OP, 14:28 and follow-ups here; sorry for getting off track with the other PP. The math my kids did as for their pull-outs seemed more qualitatively different than what was going on in class -- they played math dice and discussed patterns, sort of like in The Number Devil or other books that explore cool things numbers can do. There were also things that reminded me of Continental Math League, which is sort of word problems meet logic problems, or maybe Car Talk Puzzlers. All APS kids do CML though, and you don't have to be gifted to be in the Math Dice tournament. The other pull-outs were not so much qualitatively different, as far as I could tell (although I'm the one who had to guess how often pull-outs are, so take it for what it's worth), from regular work, just more advanced -- more complicated reading, subtler analysis of subjects, more autonomy in designing projects. Does that help?[/quote]
