[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a parent of a 4th grader, over half of his entire class are in CM4/5 math which puts them in IM7 by 6th grade. Now my older son's class, almost the entire 95+ kids were recommended for IM7 even if they did not take CM in 4th & 5th grade. MCPS needs to focus on put each child on the right path for their individual ability!!![/quote]

IM in 7th is now standard; see link in above post. [/quote]

I took her post as recommending everyone in IM7 in 6th grade, even if they didn't take compact math. Our school is starting to do the same. Compact math used to be for a small group of kids. Now 70% are in it and 85% are being recommended for IM in 6th. Ridiculous.

They are heading that way. MCPS dumbs down curriculum so everyone can joins hands together. God forbid if the lower math levels look too dark skin. We can't have that.  :roll:

I miss track math classes. Kids as young as grade 1 were tracked. They could be in Math 2, Math 1 accelerated, Math 1, or Math 1 with review. Four different options for one grade. Now we are streamlining kids. It is just terrible. [/quote]

Do they still offer accelerated math in elementary?[/quote]

No.  There is one option for compacted math entering 4th grade.  That is it.  Otherwise they pull groups within classes of various levels which means an hour of busy work or helping other for the kids that are above grade level.  They will say they offer enrichment but they don't.  One sheet of paper HW in 3rd that my daughter finishes in 2-3min on the bus ride home.  [/quote]
