[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I believe the county is doing away with AIM, and only IM will
be offered going forward.[/quote]

This is what we were told as well.  Although they did say that the new IM will use the AIM curriculum. [/quote]

So what will be the enriched options for 6th graders, then?[/quote]

All the 5th graders in 5/6 math will have the same enriched option, IM. There won’t be a different class for the highest achieving kids. [/quote]

My CES child was very bored by the compacted math. Does this mean that they are doomed to further boredom in 6th grade?[/quote]

Afraid so. [/quote]

Not necessarily. IM is much faster-paced than Compacted 5/6 is. It's covering 2 years of content (Math 7 + Math 8) rather than 1 1/2.[/quote]

True, but they are two years with a lot of overlapping content, so it’s not like they have to go twice as fast. They can take advantage of the spiraled curriculum by not having to review the topic before they go deeper. [/quote]
