[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]work samples:
showing step by step solving

a) 4-digit times 4-digit numbers
b) kangaroo questions

because difference between aap and regular class is just math[/quote]

This is not the kind of advice our AART gave us. For the math sample, look for something that requires creative thinking to get a solution. We used a problem from [url=https://nrich.maths.org/topics-mathematics-primary-students]NRICH Maths[/url] that was math but required spatial reasoning for my kid who did not-great on the CogAT non-verbal. Their problems are similar to the kinds of creative thinking worksheets that came home from the level I AART enrichment at our school in 1st and 2nd. My other kid did a board game based on math and explained their thinking behind the game. The game was not ground-breaking, similar to a hybrid between The Ladybug Game and Sleeping Queens, but it was still fun.

Then the AART said we definitely also needed language arts, and other subjects were a bonus. We typically did literature entries in the [url=https://www.pta.org/home/programs/reflections]Reflections Art Contest[/url] which require an artists statement as well as the story/poem. The artist's statement showed the child's critical thinking. If you don't have something like that, just have your kid write a brief explanation of the sample. According to our AART you always want to have your child, in their own words, explain their sample.[/quote]

I like the board game actually but I don’t know if he is willing to make it 😌
Thank you for the advice really appreciated [/quote]
