[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A good read. https://www.nwea.org/blog/2024/when-are-students-ready-for-algebra/?hl=en-US#:~:text=And%20students%20who%20complete%20Algebra,negative%20consequences%20on%20their%20achievement.[/quote]

"Students needed to score around a 235 to 238 on MAP Growth in the spring of seventh grade to be on track to score proficient at the end of an Algebra 1 course. "

A 50% chance of being only proficient? I assume proficient in this case means passing, not outright mastery. Sounds like a low bar.[/quote]

This was an eye-opener. The author of the article said that of the kids with a 235-238 on the MAP, 50% of those kids could probably handle it, and 50% could struggle with it. He said it would be understandable for a school district to raise the bar and require more preparation and proficiency for Algebra I. Mine has a 245 on MAP in the 6th, and I don't think she's ready to take a high school course that will go on her transcript. Sure, maybe she'll make a high C or a B in 7th grade, but why not give it a year and give her more prep? Go for the A in 8th grade? [/quote]
