[quote=Anonymous]OP- Discuss the engagement an boredness your child is reporting with the teacher. Reading above grade level is common, but is different than reading far above peers. The first is based on a standardized understanding of where an average child would be, while the later is based upon the peers in class and in the next grade level. As for math there is a difference between a child has basic algebraic thinking/1 step problem solving (3+x=5) which is being built into lots of curriculum currently vs a child that can truly handle Algebra. The later child will have mastered outside of school all the operations, fractions, percents, ratios, and have a good numerical sense(or at the very least when tested show ability to collectively master these topics quickly). Again, start with the teacher as there are a lot of ways to go deeper in topics to engage a student or even provide slight acceleration before skipping becomes a discussion.[/quote]
