[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The elementary AAP program doesn't matter all that much. It's the middle school AAP and the high school that matter more. [/quote] It sure matters for math.[/quote] How so? I admit our AAP center is not impressive, other than having maybe a couple of excellent teachers. One of our kids went through it and is in high school now, and one is still at the elementary center. Do some centers have special things happening with math?[/quote] I suggest you read/skim the Mathematics Curriculum Study -- link to report: http://www.boarddocs.com/vsba/fairfax/Board.nsf/files/9V8NQ760E359/$file/Math%20Study%20-%20Final%20Report%20v15%20lzh.pdf link to slide deck: http://www.boarddocs.com/vsba/fairfax/Board.nsf/files/9V8NQL6105FB/$file/Mathematics%20Study%20SB%20NN%20v2%20lzh.pdf Also, see Instructional Services' response to the study -- link: http://www.boarddocs.com/vsba/fairfax/Board.nsf/files/9VEKFR6A3F3D/$file/Math%20Study%20Program%20Managers%20Response%20ISD%204_7.pdf [/quote] Adding some details - this reads like students do need to be doing accelerated math in ES to get into Honors Math. Mathematics 7 Honors is open enrollment for all students; however, there are specific requirements for enrollment in Algebra I Honors in 7th grade. Enrollment in Algebra I Honors in 7th grade is based on the following criteria: • Successful completion of the Advanced Mathematics Grade 6 curriculum or a year-long accelerated mathematics program • Score at or above the 91st percentile on the Iowa AlgebraAptitude Test (IAAT) • Score a pass advanced (500 or above) on the grade 7 mathematics Standards of Learning (SOL) test [/quote]
