[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It varies by school. For us, school offered it to kids with a MAP score of 250 or above (or possibly 240, I'm not sure) and a teacher recommendation. It was offered as an option on our course selection, so we just chose it, and the children were placed in it.[/quote] Really? That seems like a low MAP cutoff, not even 99th percentile (I think 240 is only like 90th actually.). I thought Algebra 1 in 6th was only supposed to be for the most profoundly gifted kids?[/quote] I think its also used as a bribe to get kids to schools that need their test scores boosted. Smart kids are fine doing it with the right teacher. The only time we've had math issues is with a not so great teacher and we've supplemented with a tutor. Its hard when some teachers refuse textbooks and little homework/practice.[/quote]
