[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Advanced Math alone is considered Level II - and has county requirements to get in… which are like 120s on CogAT, something else that most kids would meet, and then school recommendation. So, I would email AART and principal and say because of the CogAT and interest in Math you would like Advanced Math for your child. [/quote]

Actually this isnt true. When I asked our AART about Advanced Math I was told there was a test administered in early Fall to determine acceptance into Advanced Math. Advanced Math = AAP Level 4 Math. The test changes year to year and is determined by the "Math Dept"[/quote]

My 6th grade Gen Ed daughter is in advanced math (AAP math) and it is listed on her report card as Level II.[/quote]

Strange. My 2nd grader receives Level 2 services in Math. He's basically getting worksheets that are more advanced, but classroom instruction is the same as Gen Ed. FWIW, here is what was distributed by our AART:

Access to Rigor/Level I AAP services: Exposure to AAP lessons or materials at least once a quarter provided through the classroom teacher, or AART (Advanced Academic Resource Teacher), or both, at least once a quarter.
 Subject Specific Differentiation/Level II AAP services:  Enrichment in language arts or math for a proven area of need/strength; Enrichment is given through the classroom teacher.
 Advanced Math: Students who test and meet the criteria set by the FCPS math department may opt to take this course, starting in third grade. This course accelerates students up to one full year above their sitting grade level. Students in grade 5 will take the Math 6 SOL for VDOE testing, and students in grade 6 will take the Math 7 SOL for VDOE testing.
 Part time/ Level III AAP Services: Grades 3-6 enrichment provided in all four core subject areas of language arts, math, science and social studies using AAP curricula working directly with the AART on a part-time basis.
Full time/Level IV AAP Services: Grades 3-6 enrichment provided in all four core subject areas of language arts, math, science and social studies using AAP curricula full-time, in a self-contained setting.
