[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do you think there is a chance they are only considering students in compacted math for the math/science magnet? [/quote]

No, stop it.
Kids in a 6th grade math class are taking the MAP 6+.
It doesn't take a Galaxy Brain to understand. [/quote]

Except that those in Math 5/6 haven't yet encountered 6th grade math.  They'll be covering 5th grade content through December.[/quote]

It's a computer adaptive test. 
There is massive overlap between 5th and 6th grade math curriculum. [/quote]

Except that the response, above, was to the statement that,

"Kids in a 6th grade math class are taking the MAP 6+.  It doesn't take a Galaxy Brain to understand.'

They aren't in 6th grade math [i]yet[/i].  Sure, there's overlap, but they shouldn't be taking  MAP 6+ until they are, especially when there is evidence of a temporary decline in score with the shift in the grade level of the test and when that test, unlike the others for this year, is going to be used as an admissions gate to magnet programming.[/quote]

It doesn't matter. Magnet admissions is a massive lottery with few winners. Kids whose scores dropped were bouncing the ceiling where the score was basically random (within  the range) anyway. If you are that obessee with getting a higher score, grab a middle school math book from the library. [/quote]
