[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]More project based learning. The math is a full grade advanced. Kids are overall more interested in learning so the teacher can move at a faster pace.[/quote]

So they literally start with fourth grade math in third? That would be fine with me but was not expecting it.

Any examples of what you mean by project-based learning? Is it defined by the curriculum or does it vary by teacher? Also curious about how much independence they get relative to regular class. [/quote]

They are doing the same math but just more extensions.  So where are the other classes are tested on multiplication tables up to 10 the aap class will go to 12 or for subtraction they might go out two additional digits.  My child has a lot of friends in the pbl classes and the work hasn't been significantly different.  They are also doing the same science and social studies units at our school.[/quote]

I have two kids who went through AAP and have a kid who just got in. The 3rd grade math is not all that advanced or fast. I can only imagine how slow gen ed math is. A bright kid can do the AAP math with zero effort. My oldest will take AP calculus BC as a junior as will most of the kids he was in AAP with in elementary school. A few kids will move forward in math outside of school and try to take algebra in 6th grade.[/quote]
