[quote=Anonymous]My son loves math and has found it really easy over the years.  He was not placed in compacted math in 4th grade because he often got frustrated or upset if a math problem did not come easily to him.  During the pandemic and online school we discovered that my son had undiagnosed ADHD and Anxiety.  He panics on tests, and is easily distracted or overwhelmed.  Therefore, his MPA scores were just below the schools threshold for compacted math.  Things are improving and we are slowly figuring things out.

However, he still complains that math is easy.  It is his favorite subject that he now dislikes because it is too easy.  He desperately wants to be in advanced math and understands that options in middle school and is okay if he doesn't succeed in AIM.  He has even asked to take a math course this summer to catch-up.

Is there a course or math camp he can take this summer that will help him catch-up in math and have him placed into AIM in Middle School?  I just want to give him a shot.

I think it will be good for him to have an adult believe in him and support him if he wants it that badly.

ps:  I am not a crazy math parent.  The advanced math pathway is actually quite frightening to me.[/quote]
