[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If a child is transferring into MCPS for sixth grade, how do they determine what math class they put them in if they haven’t done a lot of standardized testing? Do they give them a test? thanks[/quote]

One way would be to have the transfer take the MAP-M and use that score to determine placement. Last I knew scoring over 240 put you in AIM at some of the wealthy schools you can be placed in Algebra for &gt;250.[/quote]

You can do Algebra at non-wealthy schools too.  I think the target is also 250.  I don't think you have to score that high for AIM, which is now a new name (pre-algebra) but they watn compacted math except sometimes they make exceptions.  [/quote]

Not true. DC scored 290s in 5th and 280s at the beginning of 6th and because they were in Silver Spring did not have this option. It is only common in Western moco. Schools like Frost will allow anyone with 250+ take Algebra in 6th, but at schools like TPMS you have to take AIM regardless of your score before you are eligible for Algebra.[/quote]
