[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]But the MAP covers material that may not have been reviewed or discussed this year.  They are not being taught for that test.[/quote]

For example, geometry concepts were not covered in detail this year.  If a child does not do well on that section of the MAP, it is not a reflection of ability to perform in the math class.[/quote]

Again maybe this was true at your school but at our school they spent months on this.[/quote]

Please stop. It is not helpful to continually hear how your school managed to cover lessons not outlined to be covered by MCPS. Most schools covered what was outlined by MCPS and added extra when they could, but did not come close to a "normal" year. I am happy for your kid(s) that your school did, but that is not the norm this year. Our school is great, our DD's teacher is outstanding, and still they did not cover geometry which was not on the MCPS math schedule. People are trying to understand what was required/outlined by MCPS and how much was left out. Not because of what the teacher or school chose not to cover, but because that is what MCPS told them to cover/leave out.[/quote]

Why does it matter?  You either supplement or you don't worry about it.  Issue solved.  Even before covid, it really depended on the teacher.  We had multiple subs and then covid hit last year.  Kids barely got any education and it was all fine.  Some of us supplemented, some did not.  Either way, if you are going into 6th, you'll go into AIM and depending on the school, a few outliers will go into Algebra.  Its 4/5 grade.  The key is to know math facts and the basics.  You can get some workbooks this summer or use the ones MCPS gave you.[/quote]
