[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]On my DS's AAP package, they only have second grade fall's iready.  Make sure she scores above 90% to be safe.  87% is on the border and the students are only compared against those from the same school, so if her school is high SES school 87% won't get her in.

I suggest do some enrichment over the summer to make sure she's ready for second grade. [/quote]

We started doing some math problems with her. Our school is a no homework school and math seems to be done online in the form of math games. From what I can see, they do addition and subtraction but iready also tests on math they have never been exposed to.[/quote]

I don't know what iready tests that you think your daughter is not exposed to.  My DS tests 97%-99% since 1st grade so I am not paying attention to his math.  I just pay for kumon and make sure he does 5 sheets (10 pages) of practice every day.  Trust me the whining is epic but it's worth it. [/quote]

I think OP means that the math on iReady is stuff her daughter hasn't done in class.

OP this is by design. iReady will (within 2 grades) make the test harder until your kid stops getting questions right. If they get everything right the test stops at 2 grades above grade level.[/quote]

Ok so it makes sense that she is at 80% since we don’t do any outside math enrichment. She does read books daily.

It seems unfair to test kids on material they have not learned to qualify kids for AAP. I was surprised to learn that many kids do indeed go to kumon, mathnasium, Russian school or others. This age seems too young for that.[/quote]
