[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is super confusing.  I will say that I’ve got two kids in compacted math—their MAP scores have consistently been in the 95-99+ percentile, and I think that compacted math is sufficiently challenging for them.  It moves pretty fast.  I’d be nervous about additional acceleration.  I know one kid that needed more, but I think it’s pretty rare ..... definitely less than 1% of the kids, so I’m not sure how they make this a real class.  [/quote]

I'm the pp talking about the new pathway class in our regional CES. We are at Cold Spring, and I believe at least Pyle CES is also applying this similar pathway to one class of student. I believe all of my DC's math class classmates meet at least 99% on grade level of MAP-M test. My DC's math is 99% three grades above, and so far he never complains about too fast pace. It's fine for them to skip the entire 4th grade math because they can somehow makeup during absorbing new concepts. I'm not sure about what his classmates feel, but one good thing about forming a whole class is that you don't need to send kids to the MS at 5th grade, so logistically it's efficient.[/quote]
