[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It may depend on the school but in ours they change classes for the math block and it's not just the compacted math kids. The kids in compacted math are in all the four classes and Mrs. X who is one of the teachers for 4th grade teaches compacted math. If you're in compacted math and in Mrs. X's class you stay with her. If you're not in her class you go to her class. If you're in Mrs. X's homeroom class you're assigned one of the other teachers for math and you get pulled out so to speak. Not sure how it works in other schools.[/quote]
What if there aren't enough CM students to fill Mrs. X's class?  Say, there are only a dozen CM kids in the DS.  Will the class be filled with both CM and non-CM kids?  If so, will each still get a one hour math block time, or will the one hour math block now be split (and probably not 50/50) between the two groups?[/quote]

It's a good question. I think the number of students in each of those classes was not at capacity at our school so there was some wiggle room in class size during the math block. As an example if all four classes had 25 students… Mrs. X's class could have up to 30 kids for CM and the other three might have 23,23,24 for regular math during that time or Mrs. X's class might have 12 for CM and the others 29, 29 and 30.[/quote]

They will generally fill the classes so they are all somewhat even (regardless of where the kids belong)[/quote]
