[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is maybe accelerated math in 2nd grade at TPES.  If you are at TPES, then you should ask TPES parents about it, because they are the only ones likely to know.

If you are not at TPES, then most likely it just means your kid is good at math.  They don't skip them grades or go out of the normal sequence except in very extraordinary circumstances.  [/quote]

And then those TPES second graders become 3rd graders at PBES where there is no accelerated math in 3rd grade. They have to sit through lessons repeating what they learned in 2nd - slowly having their love of math dissolved from the boredom.[/quote]

DC went through the accelerated math at TPES and when they started 3rd at PBES they were assigned to a small group within their 3rd grade class that continued where they had left off in second. At 8 the child scored in the high 240s on their MAP-P and received a 5 on their PARC. [/quote]

That was our experience at PBES as well. There aren't specific math classes in 3rd grade but small groups that function the same as small reading groups. Students are grouped with others at a similar level. [/quote]
