[quote=Anonymous]My DD did not take compacted math in ES, but when she got to 5th grade, she was miserable.  She told me she read books all through math (didnt help that her 5th grade teacher was on maternity leave the entire first quarter). When we went to the Middle School open house (North Bethesda MS), I asked the head of the math department about her skipping whatever math they had suggested for her, and going right to IM. The math teacher told me what she would need to do, she did it at Mathnasium over that summer between 5th and 6th grade, about 8 visits, an hour each,, and she is completing IM this year with an A. No tutoring, no extra help, no strughles, doing just fine. I will say that the Middle School counselor fought me on this: they did not want her to take IM. I told them that it was her request to take it, that she was the one who wanted to do work during her free time over the summer, and that we supported her in this decision and would be just fine. And she has done just that.[/quote]
