[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Teacher here -

On the Advanced Math track:
3rd - all 3rd curriculum half of 4th - 3rd SOL
4th - half of 4th all of 5th curriculum - 4th SOL
5th - 6th grade curriculum - 6th SOL
6th - Math 7 curriculum - Math 7 SOL

If you are in Advanced Math, that’s the track in the whole county.

This is correct, from another teacher. If your child was in advanced math in 5th but didn't take the 6th grade SOL, they were in something the school was calling "advanced math," but if you check SIS most likely the name of the course was Grade 5 Math rather than Grade 5 Adv Math.

I have heard from one teacher at a local full time school AAP that many of the kids in their full time AAP class couldn't actually handle the full 6th grade content, so they kept those kids listed as Grade 5 Math in SIS so they could still take the Grade 5 SOL and not Grade 6.

There are all sorts of little ways the local programs have to fudge things because the kids in their classes have such a wide range of abilities. I don't blame them. It's harder to get away with those things at the centers. [/quote]
