[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Tell me more about this. Does this mean supplement so a kid that's behind can catch up if their teacher can't do enough in-school? Or is this something families with a kid who is excelling beyond what the teacher can (or in our case, will) do through differentiation and small groups?

I have a first grader who is doing long division worksheets for fun. The teacher is only covering the beginning of multiplication skills in her small group.

Teacher has a whole lot of communication and personality issues beyond this, so I haven't pushed the issue since DC doesn't seem bored at school. We will hopefully be going to a new school next year if the lottery gods smile on us. But even then I would wonder if doing our own math acceleration at home or through something like Mathnasium is worth it?[/quote]

For us it is the latter--school just isn't challenging. We do RSM so my kid has problems she must struggle with to develop a much deeper understanding. I have heard good things about AoPS for this too, but it's farther away.[/quote]
