[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What are her MAP M scores? [/quote] As a teacher, this should not be the only factor. Compacted math moves quickly. Kids who score high but take forever are not a good fit and get frustrated. PP’s above are correct.[/quote] Both my kids took it and were recommended/placed in it. My older one has test anxiety and erratic standardized test scores but 3rd grade teacher still recommended them to CM and they are doing really well in Honors Geometry in 8th. Kid loves math. My point is that teachers are best positioned to make the decision, not parents. They observe the students math work/understanding/thought process for an entire school year. They know which kids can handle the accelerated pace and which ones don’t. Test scores aren’t the only indicator they look at. O[/quote]
