[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kindergartener scores 192 in the fall & 207 in the winter on MAP-M score. He loves math and logic, and he is super bored at math that taught at public school (mcps). We have not given him any math enrichment at home for a year because I am conflicted. My conflict is enrichment causes more boring in public school math, but I feel like he should be challenged. Do you think which math program is good for him if I decide to enrich? Is his score qualified him to get into AOPS or Russia math program because I hear they need to test him for placement?

DS was bored in math before he started AoPS and moved to RSM. He remains bored in math at school. Math at RSM is more challenging and interesting. We remind him that the math at school is an important refresher that should help insure that he has a strong foundation. It is practice of important skills that he will need to draw on as he moves into more advanced math.

Both AoPS and RMS have a placement test that they give to kids individually. It involves them being age appropriate math problems, solving them, and then needing to explain how they solved the problem. It is not particularly hard and doesn't take that long.[/quote]
