[quote=Anonymous]"The purpose of E3 is to broaden the access for third and fourth graders to a more rigorous curriculum in elementary mathematics by raising the rigor for all students through an enhanced program of studies that layers more opportunities for depth and complexity through flexible delivery of Advanced Academic extensions."

I like the idea of raising the rigor for all, but I don't understand if in the meantime the rigor is a bit lower for the advanced math kids? And it says nothing about beyond 4th grade as far as using E3. Does this mean that in 5th grade they'll continue using the model we've been using (separating advanced math kids out to do the 6th grade curriculum and SOL), but that they are hoping that E3 will set more kids up to be ready for advanced math?

If that's the case, I think I'd be ok with E3 for 3rd and 4th only. I get that tracking kids too early leads schools to miss some kids that will be able to handle 5th grade advanced math. E3 could possibly correct that.

But that's a lot of assumptions on my part . . . [/quote]
