[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What are his MAP scores?  At our MS there are definitely kids that get moved to AIM that were not in compacted math.

Just be aware that you are putting him on a track to take Calculus in 11th grade.    Despite this being a common track, this is generally a mistake for most kids.

I agree with having some caution in taking the advanced track. Our DC has ADHD and enjoyed math when they were in elementary. Their MAP scores have fluctuated alot over they years - sometimes doing very well, and other times not so well. They were put on the advanced math track and did really well until they hit Algebra. Since they are in the honors/advanced class the pace is quick and there is very little time to explain the concepts before moving on. In the past they looked at Math as something they loved, but now we are realizing we should have paid more attention to the fluctuating MAP scores and stepped down a level in math. Even though teachers keep saying they are fine, the love for math has disappeared. I'm not saying this will be your kiddo, but for us I wish we had chosen the mid track.[/quote]

Same exact situation here w my ADHD kid.   MAP goes from like 85 to 95 depending.    I had him repeat algebra this year.    Last year was a mess and now off the advanced track.   I feel this was a good choice [/quote]
