22:45 here - My ES in math kid tends to go crazy on math assignments...he does the basic work but then writes almost proofs or long explanations of what he's doing, spontaneously provides other examples, gives the teacher new problem sets on the back. He also uses much larger numbers than the worksheets might suggest, so if it is a simple thing on even and odds (just an example, this is something they did much earlier in the year), he will compare numbers in the millions or something with decimals, etc. He also does things with negative numbers, fractions, etc. He basically just challenges himself for fun on the worksheets.[quote]

[/quote]Thats great and exactly what I think ES is intended to be... not just that everything was done correctly but that student went above and beyond what was asked for...[/quote]

I have math kid who does this too but he does it at home on his own because his teacher will not allow him to do anything that she considers beyond grade level during class time or on worksheets.  At our school, the teachers and admins have said repeatedly that math is an example where an ES can never be given. [/quote]
