[quote=Anonymous]My kid is one of those who has always shown interest and natural ability in math (as a second grader, his most recent score is a 210 winter MAP-M, 97th percentile). But he was also 96th percentile on the MAP-M in fall of K as a newly-turned 5 year old. So not much difference percentile wise over time, despite us starting to supplement about midway through 1st. From a young age, he took joy in adding and subtracting, and would come home from school or camp telling us about a new advanced math concept he learned from an older kid or a friend. We actually started supplementing midway through 1st because of his math ability and interests, to cultivate his love for math. MCPS math is just so dry and boring in those early elementary years. We do beast academy with him at home when we can fit it in, especially in the summer months (he is midway through level 3) and will sometimes come up with math challenges for each other (which he loves). For example, he will come up with a super hard math equation for me to solve, and I’ll do the same for him. I’m a math lover myself, so I’m totally here for all of this. That’s about it for now. Most of his time is spent playing sports, socializing, reading, art, and playing video games.[/quote]
