[quote=Anonymous]OP, my 6th grader was given a math assessment  the other day.  He is at an AAP center but in a regular non AAP class.  It was an assessment on material students were expected to know by the end of 6th grade (so material he has not yet learned).  My  DS did extremely well, so they asked if we would OK them putting him in AAP math (which covers grade 7 and 8 material, they also take the Grade 7 SOL).  We OK'ed the move.  Otherwise, he would be learning material this year that he already showed he understood.   So for math only, my son goes to a different class (AAP) for Advanced Math.  He did the same thing in 4th grade (was screened and moved to Advanced Math), but last year in 5th Grade we opted to keep him in regular math for various reasons.

Many schools do this in Grades 3 and up to determine whether a child should 1)get remediation for grade level math 2)take grade level math or 3)move up to advanced math

If a child had a ton of questions they did not know, it very likely only meant that they were not ready for the advanced math class, but were appropriately placed at their normal grade level for math.  it could almost mean they might need remediation.  The teacher will let you know.[/quote]
