[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Looking at this old thread and wondering if my soon-to-be rising 6th grader should consider Algebra next year?

Their last MAP-M was around 280. They didn't get picked for the magnet lottery and were mostly bored to tears by Compacted 5/6.

They're supposed to take AIM next year which may be kind of basic for them. The only reason this might be good is they might be more challenged and engaged.

Any advice?[/quote]
A 280 in the MAP K2-5 is pretty good, but it must be considered that the test intentionally excludes any post 5th grade material, it includes only what they refer to as "extensions."
Our DC also got a 273 (in 4th grade), thanks to Covid-related semi-home schooling boost.

Insist on having your child take the K6+ test - that's the truly open-ended test that extends all the way to 12th grade. 
If they score > 260 in that test they're ready for Algebra.[/quote]

It depends on the kid.  Really any kid over 245 is ready for Algebra.  The test changes once you hit Algebra so scores can change but once they get on their MS track and do well the MAP scores are pretty meaningless.[/quote]
