[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DD consistently scores 97th-98th percentile on math MAP tests and has all As but isn't marked as &quot;Consistently receiving enrichment&quot; for math in her report card (has an &quot;N/A&quot; in MP1 for this.) I don't actually think MCPS enrichment in 2nd grade math is that valuable (they usually just get extra puzzles or whatnot), but I want her to receive it so that she gets placed in Compacted Math when the time comes (obviously assuming she continues doing well). I realize that everyone on DCUM has kids scoring &gt;&gt; 99th percentile, but I think it's normal to get enrichment at her percentile, right? I think the teacher's perception of her behavior (which she describes as &quot;very young,&quot; which we do kind of agree with) is clouding her assessment of DD's actual math capabilities. Any thoughts or similar experiences?[/quote]

For starters I would not relying on that part of the report card for anything.

I would also not depend on MCPS to properly do any enrichment at that age.    Get her on some math games websites or iPad apps to boost her interest and skills.

Unfortunately at the lower grades behavior does often cloud teacher's view of students abilities.   Later this is less of an issue so I wouldn't worry about it.      [/quote]
