[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To the parents who said their kids scored a couple of grade levels above in iReady - were your kids naturally "mathie" so they scored above without any prep at home? or are you all supplementing math curriculum at home to support your kids natural math inclination, and thus were able to teach higher level concepts?

Because I know at school, my 1st grader does not get any "challenging" math work. [/quote]

My kid is the one with the 560 iready score at the beginning of 2nd grade.  In 1st grade, my kid mostly learned through Dreambox, free math apps, and older siblings.  When the math resource teacher tested him, one of the things she observed was that he did not go in knowing all of the material through 4th grade.  For some of the concepts, he had not previously learned the material, but grasped it instantly after the teacher gave a very brief explanation.  FWIW, he also had a 155 score on the WISC FRI, which is at the ceiling.  Even if a kid is several grades above in iready, FCPS wants to be sure that the kid isn't just the product of kumon.

We later supplemented after FCPS jumped my kid ahead, because the grade skip ended up not being enough.  [/quote]
