[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DC is in 1st grade; however, has been in the 99% in the MAP (math) the past two tests and reads at an almost 4th grade level.  As a new parent to MCPS, what enrichment pathways are available to keep DC engaged and excited about learning?  DC is already pulled out for reading and math.  No clue as to what opportunities MCPS offers. FYI- we read at home, but do not do any math enrichment at home.[/quote]

OP you're not going to get a lot of kindness on DCUM that being said, I have a very gifted 1st grader and a 2nd grader who has learning difficulties. We do extra tutoring and therapy for my 2nd grader but younger one just seems to have a natural aptitude for math. Her teacher suggested some workbooks that we ordered through Amazon and when she burned through those (they were 2nd grade math) we signed her up for Kumon. She's doing 3rd grade math now and really enjoys it but she is still very much at the emotional/social level of a 1st grader so anything we do is "extra" and for fun. I would recommend that you explore extra workbooks or games and when your child is beyond that you assess whether they are ready for outside help or maybe advancing in a school setting. Best of luck.[/quote]
