As you suspect, MCPS will not allow students to move to a higher level/grade's math class until 4th grade with compacted math.

I really suggest backing off "getting assessed" by the county. You could do private testing, but what do you expect MCPS to do with it? I don't think "Good at math" is something that would qualify for a 504 plan.

Chill out and see what happens in 3rd grade with regard to math testing. As another poster suggested, ask for the MAP-P/M scores. You also need to realize that Curriculum 2.0 places a LOT of value on place value for the first several years. Be happy your child is gifted in math.

So the OP should be grateful her child is smart and bored?   [/quote]

What the PP you're responding to actually said: Be happy your child is gifted in math.
What the PP you're responding to did NOT say: Be grateful that your child is smart and bored.

I'm not the PP you're responding to.[/quote]

Yes, this PP got it. Be happy that your child is gifted in math means exactly that - be happy that your child is gifted in math.

OP can make the same concepts more challenging at home. If they are doing a lot of work using ones and tens, OP could introduce hundreds, thousands, etc.  The concept of place value still exists regardless of the number of digits in the number.

OP should talk to the teacher, but OP should not request some sort of "assessment".
