[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It really depends on your school. Our base school is an immersion school and only introduces advanced math in 6th grade. There is a chance the administration MIGHT drop that down to 5th. My DS is very strong in math, and we’re referring to AAP since he wouldn’t get the challenge he needs for a few more years without getting into Level IV and going to our assigned center. [/quote] [quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's definitely advanced math.[/quote] But I thought you can do the same advanced math without being in AAP?[/quote] I think you can now. When my now 9th grader and now 6th grader were deciding whether to go to the AAP center, you could not have that math at their local base until 5th grade.[/quote] We kept our child in his LI program because the language is challenging and we saw the benefit in learning in a different language. We also felt he would be better off socially at the base school. Our base school starts Advanced Math in 3rd but that is in-class differentiation. The class is divided into an Advanced Math class and a regular math class in 5th grade, allowing the Advanced Math kids to follow the same math curriculum used in LIV programs at Centers. The kids took the grade 6 SOL in fifth grade and are working on Pre-Algebra in sixth grade. He will be enrolled in AAP classes in MS.[/quote]
