[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'd consider a 4th grader, doing work beyond 6th grade level, mathematically gifted. [/quote] What about the top few kids at each AAP center who are still stuck doing the regular AAP math work because the center won't bump anyone up to the next grade? Also, what about the kids who are winning math contests? Is there any level of achievement in CML, MOEMS, Mathcounts, AMC8, math league, or any other contests that would suggest to you that the kid is gifted in math? Doing work beyond 6th grade is more suggestive of exposure than it is of talent. [/quote] Yes, but rare. At our school, a very, very bright kid would take the harder section of cml and get them all right. The kid now takes algebra in 6th. It’s rare though. We have other kids who get perfect scores on cml and wordmasters and don’t move anywhere - those are grade level tests. Moving kids ahead should be - and is - very rare. [/quote]
