[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Samples from the previous school year. Sorry, but you need to demonstrate your child needs and is capable of a somewhat accelerated curriculum. While art projects and Lego structures are great supplements, the committee needs to see some academic work.

Could you “fake” a math test? Meaning, write out six or seven math problems and have your child solve them and show their work? Could they write a short story?[/quote]

It can't just be a math test.  The committee needs to see how your child thinks through problems and regular math problems won't do it.  Word problems get closer, but if it's just straight arithmetic being shown, it's not going to show much (or how much parents coached the kid).

My child's home samples (we were limited to two pages since they were enrolled in FCPS) were some block coding work they did through a summer camp that was a creative story, some "what did the student get wrong" math problems I found on Teachers Pay Teachers, and a creative project and oral narrative related to a book series my kid was into.[/quote]
