[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid did MAP 5 last year in 4th grade in compacted math. There was a dip in her fall score but then it went way up in the spring. Same thing this fall with MAP 6.[/quote] Dips in fall are normal and not cause for concern unless winter scores continue to be low. By the way, there is no MAP 5. There are three batteries of MAP-M: K-2; 3-5; 6+. The set of questions reflect higher order topics in each subsequent map. While they claim continuity in RIT scores on average, individually dips are common when transitioning from K-2 to 3-5; and especially from 3-5 to 6+, as the latter covers many new higher order concepts. Even super mathy kids are likely to experience dips if they have not had any prior exposure to these new concepts (e.g., if you’ve never been exposed, it is very hard/next to impossible to figure out what a complex number is and that i represents the imaginary number 🙈) [/quote]
