[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DD is in G&T and scored a 93 percent in MAP-M. I am wondering if Kumon or Mathnasium will help in better test scores. She will be going to middle school next year.[/quote] practice always helps with fluency, and fluency with math facts does help kids score higher on these assessments, like it or not. how you go about practicing is up to you. some people find value in paying to drive to a place so that someone can give their kids worksheets. other people practice for free at home. i strongly suggest you try the at-home methods before going the kumon/mathnasium route. kids who are sent to kumon to do worksheets do not score higher than kids whose parents give them worksheets at the kitchen table.[/quote] Kahn Academy is also free and for my kid, better than worksheets. IXL is fine for rote drilling. For a G&T kid, I would 100% do Beast Academy or AoPS (Alcumus is free and intelligent), depending on age. [/quote]
