My daughter will be taking Calc A/B Honors as a sophomore so yes, Calc A/B as a senior is mediocre.  That is what grade level is in MCPS.

Please stop copying and pasting things and acting like you know what is going on in every classroom.  I am talking about advanced kids and how bored they are in elementary school math and they are not being given anything to keep their curiosity going.  It wouldn't take much to give some extra advanced problems on the back to work on IF you get done the basic math problems.  But no one cares about that.  They teach for the standardized test.  And the new concept of math groups instead of separate math classes is a total failure.  Kids are only taught math for 7-10minutes a day as they rotate thru groups.  Same as reading.  Kids spend more time goofing off at centers than learning.  [/quote]

Calc A/B as a grade-level senior is mediocre? How much calculus do you think that students should get in high school? When I was in high school, Calc A/B as a senior was the honors/advanced track.

If your daughter's math class is not doing what's in the curriculum guide, that's at least potentially a problem, and you should talk to the teacher and perhaps also the principal about it.

[b]Within-class math groups is not a new concept.

Have you talked to your daughter's teacher about giving a few extra advanced problems to work on in the extra time? My child's first-grade teacher did that, and yes, it was Curriculum 2.0.[/quote]

For MCPS, yes math groups and centers is a new thing.  That started with 2.0
Prior to that the kids tested into math classes starting at the end of K.  Moved up and down quarterly or yearly as needed.  Kids could have a reading teacher in AM and a different math teacher in PM[/quote]
