[quote=Anonymous]Our math curriculum doesn't start differentiating until third grade.  Before then, all kids follow the same curriculum.  Advanced math is just not offered in K-2.

Our DD loves math and was eager for more in the K-2 years, so he teachers gave the ok to skip around/ahead on IXL. We let her follow her curiosity and she tried and learned all sorts of interesting math via IXL.  She also liked logic problems -- we found good ones in the Math Perplexors workbooks and in this one, too:  https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0866514406/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o07_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1)

In third grade, the school starts offering accelerated math, which literally follows the curriculum for the grade level ahead.  By sixth grade, there's an option for double-accelerated -- 6th graders in a math class with 8th graders -- and that continues all the way up until they're stretching deep into Calculus and beyond. Only a handful of kids seem to qualify for the uber-advanced classes each year, but there's apparently no limit.  The school will accommodate as many as can test in and keep up.  [/quote]
