[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We just got my 3rd grade kid’s score for this week’s MAP-M and they got a 252. Kid is in RSM but is quick to figure things out — my kid was describing stuff the haven’t done even in RSM but was able to deduce (stuff about plotting a quadrilateral on an axis). We did RSM because of the lack of challenge in school so it’s a bit of a chicken or the egg — are they scoring high because of RSM or because they are naturally inclined to understand complex math?

Either way I am just hoping compacted math is a bit better than what they’ve had to date…[/quote]

It's a bit better. Your kid is probably already past  Math 6 level, but a little disciplined review is good for improving fluency. 
CM will be 3 days per topic instead of 5, while your kid would probably be happy with 2 days per topic.[b] Stick with RSM or similar and then you'll get a placement in 6th grade, likely Algebra 1, maybe AIM/AMP7+ Prealgebra[/b] [/quote]

Not pp, but I have a question. So kids can pick different math level class starting at 6th grade? Is that a placement from 5th grade map m result? And, what is AUM/AMP 7?[/quote]
