[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is there going to be IOWA test for 6th grader this year?[/quote]

I am a 6th Grade AAP teacher and we have been discussing it lately. We have a tentative window (Jan 11-20), which could easily be moved. I just learned that the test HAS to be done in person.  If the COVID numbers are not good, it could be moved to February/March - or canceled altogether.[/quote]

Any updates on this? TIA[/quote]

Our school scheduled the IAAT for January 11, confirm or opt out by January 4.  Test will be in the cafeteria. Bring 2 pencils. Do not bring laptop. Social distancing and masks required.  Parents not allowed in the building. Complete the health screening questionnaire day of.  Temperatures will be taken before they go into the building.

From the email:
"All students who are enrolled in the Advanced Mathematics Grade 6 course are eligible for screening for placement in Algebra I Honors in grade 7."  "To qualify for this placement, students must first demonstrate readiness for formal abstract thinking as evidenced by a score at the 91st percentile or above on the Iowa Algebra Aptitude Test (IAAT). In addition to readiness for abstract thinking, students must show mastery of middle school mathematics as evidenced by a score of 500 or above on the Virginia Standards of Learning (SOL) Grade 7 mathematics test at the end of grade 6."

"Algebra 1 Honors is a rigorous course that carries high school credit and is calculated into the student's grade point average. A desire to take Algebra 1 Honors in grade 7 implies a desire to take five additional years of mathematics through high school, including college-level courses. An advanced level alternative to Algebra 1 Honors in grade 7 is Mathematics 7 Honors. It is not necessary for students to take the IAAT in order to enroll in Mathematics 7 Honors."[/quote]
