[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So it seems like the real missing piece at MCPS is compacting that supports an on-ramp to acceleration at grade 5, right? MCPS already has compacting that supports starting acceleration at grades 4 and 6, so I don't think you'd need many changes to those. And you could theoretically enroll in Pre-Algebra (which combines 7/8) in 7th coming off grade-level math in grades 4-6, so you wouldn't necessarily need a new course there either. I guess if the "extensions" in grade 4 were significant, would that be enough to cover the part of grade 5 math that's covered in Compacted 4/5 and be ready to jump into the second half of grade 5?[/quote] I think they can just have those kids in regular grade 5 math plus the "extension to grade 6" add-on (then start AMP in 6th) and count that as their grade 5 on-ramp, since it would still get the kids to Algebra 1 in 8th.
