[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How many children are in the advanced math group at a non LLIV or Center school?  Do they have advanced math every day in the classroom?  That seems advanced for a 3rd grade classroom at a non level IV school.[/quote]

At my kid's center school, the AAP classes have at least 3 levels of math.  Last year, there was the middle group (my kid's) which we assumed was the middle because most of the kids were in that group.  The middle group, according to the teachers, was working 1 grade level ahead.  I didn't really pay attention to what specific things he was working on, but they at least taught him well enough that he got 600 on the math SOLs, so I imagine it was at least grade level or higher.

The second group was small, and it was kids who were working a bit slower on math.  I don't know if that group was fluid as my kid doesn't pay attention to stuff like that and I never think to ask.

The third group is what my kid called the math geniuses.  This was a group of 6-10 kids who went up with the next grade level's AAP class for math.  Last year they were spread between the two teachers, this year they are all in the same homeroom.  I imagine this is for ease of scheduling for the school.

Next year, I have heard that this advanced group will go to the Junior High for first period math, but I can't say for certain as it does not affect my child.[/quote]
