[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here, thank you everyone for the response. We decided to appeal.

I have a lot of examples on why she needs AAP. She absolutely learns better when challenged. She spent Saturday learning multiplication/division on iPad because kids on her table talked about it. She learnt to solve rubric cube on YouTube because her best friend knows how to. She constantly asks the kids in her class who know more than her if they can teach her -- not always successful though. But she does turn to us for unsatisfied learning needs after school, and we point her to the resources she needs to learn about it herself. I do regret not always be able to devote enough time teaching and doing projects with her.

I am having difficulties finding good work samples. I heard math worksheets are not good samples. And the school work samples aren't good either -- they are basically daily practice sheets. I have a bunch of videos of her explaining how to solve rubric cubes, puzzles, Smart Games, etc. But they do not seem presentable to me.

Does anyone have examples of a good work sample?[/quote]

You can screenshot the videos of her explanations and type out her text explanations beside the screenshots. Our AART crammed 5 work samples on each of the pages by shrinking them, and included a little text explanation of what my kid's work was showing. I duplicated that approach with the work samples in my parental referral.

You can also have your kid do some CML problems (you can google Continental Math League) and not just solve the problem, write out her thinking on the solution (I videoed the explanation then transcribed it)[/quote]
