[quote=Anonymous]The communication I’ve received about the AAP program emphasizes providing depth, complexity, and acceleration. Based on the homework and worksheets from school, I agree that the program has delivered depth and complexity to the math units covered so far. While I can't directly compare to the regular curriculum, I suspect it’s a significant difference in both complexity and volume (10+ worksheets per week) compared to the work at the end of 2nd grade. Of course, this is just an anecdote from a center school with a strong pool of students.

In terms of pacing, during the back-to-school orientation, the teacher mentioned that the students will work on math concepts with the aim of completing the equivalent of half of the regular 4th-grade curriculum (1.5 years ahead per grade). I assume the teachers are still getting to know their students and will eventually identify who may need an extra push. The website specifically states, "Teacher teams may adjust the pacing or order of units to best meet the needs of students" so the official curriculum may become less relevant as the year progresses.[/quote]
