[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow, popping in here from Recent Topics (since we are weighing whether to move to MOCO at some point). Our Title 1 DCPS is on module 3, lesson 6, and my first grader also gets enrichment which is second grade module 5, lesson 6. I heard MCPS was slow, but that seems really slow. No wonder they’re bored!  [/quote]

In my experience in both a title I and a WOTP DCPS, and a well-off MCPS ES, DCPS is better for ES (though we were only there in early elementary).[/quote]

At our DCC ES which is a focus school (high-FARMS), my second grader is also on module 5 lesson 4 or 5 so very similar. [/quote]

PP’s DCPS is doing first and second grade math in first grade though. [/quote]

At MCPS they're just doing basic regrouping for subtraction and skip counting in prep for multiplication in the enriched group. In first grade, it was more basic; nevertheless, both my kids had 99%+ on their MAP-M so not too worried about it. Regrouping multi-digit subtraction and skip-counting seems appropriate for a 7 year old.[/quote]

At our school some 1st graders are also doing 2nd grade Eureka but we're one of the only ES with accelerated math.[/quote]

The key is that some kids are doing 2nd grade math, not all.  OP have you spoken with your child’s teacher and school about the concern?  If not I would suggest you start there. You can definitely enrich at home.  Go for depth vs speed and moving into new topics.  This includes doing word problems. Having a thorough understanding of foundational math skills and being able to think through problems with them is key to harder HS and college math.  Many a student has found themselves struggling and in need of a tutor when they hit Algebra, Trig, PreCal, Physics, etc. because they lack the ability to take basic foundational skills and be able to manipulate/apply to new problems or scenarios.[/quote]
