[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's strange to me that the test for admission to 
a HGC has a math part even though the curriculum doesn't include math.  Only a couple of kids in my child's 4th grade class are in grade 4 math as a result.  [/quote]

Well, it's basically meant to be an IQ test, so they cover everything.[/quote]

Interesting.  I assumed that the non-verbal portion was like an IQ test but didn't realize that the quantitative and verbal sections were also like an IQ test.  [/quote]

HGC admission test has the following component -
1) Non-verbal was like an IQ (somewhat like Raven)
2) Math was word-problems and simple calculations (stuff covered in regular school in 2nd grade)
3) English - Reading comprehension (simple passages and answering questions based on it) and analogies (hand is to glove, as foot is to ...?)

HGC Math curriculum for 4th grade is 2.0 curriculum from this year. They have the Math 4 and Math 4/5.  It is not super accelerated like previous years, however it is enriched.  So they have projects etc. that ties in with the integrated curriculum and the enriched instruction.

I am not seeing Math worksheets (and thank God for that!)  but "Problem of the Week" worksheet are being sent.
