[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Kids should not working to get into Compacted Math.  They should either be math loving kids who are excelling and need the acceleration or kids who for whatever reason are grasping the concepts easily and new enrichment/accleration.

As others mentioned thinking ahead and paying attention to how kids are doing each year is critical.  Because what seems easy in 4th grade, starts to really become a lot of necessary concepts to grasp and have solid foundation of each year.

As someone else noted the criteria for entry and staying is becoming stricter, because MCPS wants to see kids doing well all the way through, particularly in Alg1 and Alg2.  This means Profecieny or Distinguished on the MCAP.[/quote]

Almost no one gets Distinguished on MCAP, not even kids winning national extra curricular math recognition a year or two above grade level.

MCAP scale is ridiculous and opaque [/quote]
That's why they are looking to replace MCAP in 2026-2027. 
MCAP is a terrible test. [/quote]

Do you have a source that the state is replacing MCAP? -DP[/quote]
