[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are not 30 kids in kindergarten classes in MCPS even in the non-Focus, non-Title I schools.  There are frequently 25, occasionally possibly more than that, but 22-25 is most common.

That said, there is very little math differentiation and very little acceleration of kids in the early grades beyond the curriculum.  Whether kids find it boring is really individual.

My 2nd grader has good intuitive math sense and learns math easily but has never complained about finding math class boring.  She is in a school piloting Eureka this year and has found it appropriately challenging.

My older DD found math boring in 1-3 grades and we did enroll her in a supplementary math class in 3rd and 4th grades to show her that math itself wasn't inherently boring.  She went to CES in 4th and once her math class at school was engaging and challenging she didn't want to do the weekend class anymore, so we stopped that one.[/quote]

Our DC had 27 in DC’s kindergarten class. That was common at the school. [/quote]
