[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If I'm reading it right, we got a 226. Grade level was 209. He was put in 7th grade math for 6th grade.

What bugs me, and they don't tell you this in elementary school when they track people for math, is that the science path they put you in in 9th grade depends on your math class. I realize that they need a certain amount of math for some of the science, but it affects what your cohort will be, and what classes you take to fulfill the science requirement.[/quote]

Not op, can you tell me more about it. I have a 3rd grader who is strong in math, 242 in winter MAP math. We have not done any enrichment. I hear about kids have to pick classes and electives starting at 6th grade., but I don't understand how the system works. I have checked the websites, but I still get confused. I think he will go down science/math path because he is strong in math and logic comprehension. I never attend schools in MCPS, so I have no ideas. [/quote]

You do not need to figure out MS math or electives as a third grade parent.  Don’t let this board stress you about that.  If you want to know more about the MS math courses info is on the MCPS website.  For now focus on 4th and 5th grade.  Your ES teacher can tell you about those math pathways.

As for science, while there is some connection between science and math, this is not a problem most students encounter.
