[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A proper version of LLIV has whole class instruction at level 4 math. Yes you will have AAP III kids joining too but they should be learning at the level 4 pace.

Apparently not all schools do it that way. If mine did not though then I would plan to switch to the center. [/quote]

This. Level III advanced math is the same math as the
Level IV kids get. We are at a center and the advanced math kids (level III) come into a level IV class just for math. Nobody is getting 50% of the teacher’s time—they are all learning the same thing. [/quote]

Not at our LLIV. The teacher is giving different tests and assignments to each group (half the class is level IV/advanced math, and half is level III math), so it would seem to logically follow that they aren't all being taught the same lesson.[/quote]

If so, then the level III kids in the LLIV classroom but not being taught the same math as the LIV kids didn't qualify for advanced math.  The schools have certain benchmarks they want met on various tests for a gen ed kid to be placed in advanced math.  If too few kids qualify, then they might need to run a split classroom.  I doubt that gen ed kids who met the advanced math benchmarks are not being given the same math lessons as the LIV kids.  By FCPS standards, LIV math and gen ed advanced math are the exact same thing and are to cover the same material using the same pacing guide.

Also, LIII and Advanced math are two completely different things.  My DD was in LIII and advanced math.  Many classmates were in advanced math but not LIII.  Some other classmates were LIII but not advanced math.  [/quote]
