[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There's an easy way to tell if your student is receiving accelerated math or not - look at their last report card.  There's a box that will note they are being graded on above grade level standards. Our third grader is.[/quote]

OP can correct me if I'm wrong, but OP is looking to see not if a kid is in advanced math, but if the current year 3rd grade advanced math curriculum is still accelerated the way it was in prior years. As you can see on this thread, reports are mixed and contradictory. Some people are claiming that the current 3rd grade advanced math standards still have kids go to half of 4th, while others are saying it's just extensions on general education. The report card checkbox won't answer that question. Only talking with school personnel probably will, because this is new this year with the new math standards.[/quote]

Yes, thank you. My child is not in AAP and we didn't apply this year. Just wondering if we applied next year, if she'd be too far behind in 5th.[/quote]

If your kid does no outside enrichment, I think she would be behind. Just put your kid in mathnasium or something similar to work ahead. Many kids in AAP do this already.[/quote]

Enrichment numbers are school dependent. Our ES did not have many kids in enrichment classes, there were two kids who openly discussed it and none of DSs friends did any. Plenty of kids are taking Algebra 1 H in 7th and a good number choose to take Math 7 H instead of Algebra.

There are schools where the number of kids in enrichment classes is higher. I do know a kid on my sons soccer team who was at RSM through 6th grade but stopped attending when he got into Algebra 1 in 7th grade.

[b]There are a lot of kids who are in Advanced Math and go on to Algebra 1 H without taking any extra classes[/b]. [/quote]

+1 million. I'm a parent of a kid like that. Only 1 of DC's friends ever spoke of doing outside enrichment, yet many tested into Algebra 1 H.[/quote]
