What are some of the things parents of regular Ed (non AAP) kids doing to motivate their kids to do better and better each grade? Does FCPS post the curriculum or study material for AAP that Regular ED kids can use for self-study? [/quote]

Yes, FCPS posts the curriculum but it's relatively hard for a normie to understand. My kid didn't get into AAP and she fell behind in 1st-2nd grade because of COVID so I've had tutors for years and had to learn this stuff. I keep her motivated by explaining I expect her to learn what they're teaching her. She's not in advanced math and that's okay. It's more important to me that she learns the basics WELL.

Some teachers will send you study guides for what your kid is doing that week/month and some won't. It's very teacher specific. What I've found to work is getting a subscription to IXL (or one of their grade level books on amazon) and just looking up the standards for what unit my kid is working on and finding practice questions at home for her to review. It's easier for me to do it via IXL cause they have state-level breakdowns of the units so you can just click on things. (My kid is in 5th now so I've been using this link this year.  https://www.ixl.com/standards/virginia/math/grade-5?)[/quote]
