[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not sure how people don't know about this.   I researched what options were out there for my good math student and confirmed at the teacher conferences in 3rd grade that my child was being tested. [/quote]

I know about compacted math and my child isn't even at MCPS (we live in MC but DC is in private school).  MCPS did a big math curriculum presentation a while back - maybe a year an a half? - it was even televised on cable on the MCPS channel.  They made a chart showing the various math tracks available under 2.0.

The chart is available in this "brochure"   http://www.montgomeryschoolsmd.org/uploadedfiles/curriculum/math/mathematics-program.pdf

And there is plenty of info via various links at this site: links http://www.montgomeryschoolsmd.org/curriculum/math/

That said, we have a "math kid" so "knowing" what is available out there for DC is "on our radar".  I realize this might not be on the radar of others.  But as a cautionary tale - for those of you that feel your school is especially poor about communication - browsing the MCPS website might give you some hints about some of those things you haven't asked about because "you didn't know to ask".

Of course, there will still be plenty you don't know about - I feel like every school has this problem to some extent or another.  Schools are notorious for either assuming incorrectly that everyone already knows that....or being tight lipped to avoid having to discuss something they expect will ruffle the feathers of parents.
