[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]264 is a strong score for a pre algebra /
AIM / AMP7  student. It's also good score for a 7-9 th grader doing very well in Algebra, not very high for hyper acceleration to algebra at a young age, where you need to have runway for many years or higher leve math ahead.

It's hard to say whether they are at a (temporary) plateau (which is fine!) or hungry for more exposure to next level concepts.

What does your kid think about class. Too easy? Just right? Successful but stressful?

Have you done any outside exposure, like working ahead in IXL / Khan / Alcumus / AoPS? I have free lessons, videos, and practice problems.  That's the obvious thing to try.

Some kids are very good at learning in class but unmotivated or unaware to look beyond things outside of class. Try some more exposure and see if kid is interested and able. I kid at that score level should be able to grasp at least some of next level algebra and geometry with independent learning. [/quote]

My kid has become very distracted. DC used to do Khan Academy in the beginning of the year and then just stopped. 264 was in Winter and now it's gone down which was why I got concerned. It just seems like DC didn't learn anything new. DC found the class too easy and got bored.

After the lower score, I told DC that they have to 30 Math every day in the summer when we are home. DC is putting up a stink for that. I guess unless DC supplements outside, nothing is going to help improve the scores.

Khan is boring. If the kid doesn't want to do Alcumus or math at home, then the kid will be terrible in high school if you push to accelerate further. A lot of kids get ahead in early elementary but aren't interested in rapid progress forever. There's a lot more to the world, even for smart people, than math.
