[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Supposedly FCPS offers advanced math starting in kindergarten. Not necessarily the case though.[/quote] I would say definitely NOT the case. K-2nd is one-size fits all. But, in 3rd and up, kids who are selected (based on CogAT, class work, etc.) go to Adv. Math every day instead of their regular math class. In 3rd grade, they do 3rd grade math and a chunk of 4th grade math. In 4th, they finish 4th grade math and do 5th grade math.... etc. When the kids are IN 5th grade, they skip the 5th grade SOL (state math test) and take the 6th grade math test instead. So, if you look at schools and their 5th grade math test scores are incongruently low -- it's because the top 1/3 of the class (or however many are in Adv. Math) didn't take it and never will take it. [/quote]
