[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In our district, math acceleration starts in 6th. My middle dc is in 5th and so bored with the math curriculum (though my older dc who is really gifted in math never got bored, so I think part of the issue is with my 5th grader not coping well with boredom)- but I worry if I supplement at home, she will be even more bored in school, because at least now she occasionally learns a new topic/concept. They just spend too long (in her opinion) reviewing the concepts. [b]For those of you with kids that are so ahead by working on math after school- do they not get bored in school?[/b] [/quote]

We are very lucky that for both kids, their teachers offered them alternative advanced work in elementary school. They both have the option of skipping the default lessons (once they prove themselves) and then they got much more challenging work to engage them during the day (some on adaptive apps and some from a teacher).

The older one is now in a middle school that accelerates a lot (algebra 2 by 8th) math, so it's all fine.

this is in DC -- DCPS elementary and BASIS for middle. [/quote]
