[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are in a similar boat. DC had 260 at end of 5th grade in compacted, dropped into mid 240s for fall of 6th, and barely went up a few points for winter map (still in 240s). Also in AIM.

Our AIM class has a long term sub so the kids are basically teaching themselves.

My kid also does IXL and khan academy, always a strong math kid. Not sure what's going on? [/quote]

In my DC's case I think its because the teacher has no choice but to go slow since many kids are struggling in AIM. DC was saying they were bored but I didn't realize how it would impact scores during testing. Looks like DC didn't care anymore and took it too easy and this is the result. If DC was in the right class to begin with at least DC would have worked harder. From what I understand MAP scores are key to magnet placements in 8th and I am upset - just not sure with whom - DC for not even trying anymore, or myself, for not being on top of this.[/quote]

No need to be upset with either. There is plenty of time to improve till 8th grade MAP.

Btw, are you sure your DC took the same version of MAP in both 5th and 6th grade? This year, 5/6 5th graders are taking the "big kid" math MAP. I am not sure if this was the case last year.[/quote]

DC said it was a 6+ MAP?? Is that the same one they take in compacted Math?[/quote]
