[quote=Anonymous]Your original question was to ask for advice and admittedly I have not read through this whole thread- just this page. Map testing does not tell you much as it is all multiple choice. Does your child write at the same level as read? If not (most don't), then that is your focus for language arts. Get her to write, write, write. It doesn't matter what she writes- whether it is a diary, poetry, making books, whatever, but you want to develop that end. That way if she gets bored in school, she can always pull out her writing to work on.

For math, there are so many fantastic programs online to work with. Map testing is very variable for math. I would expect advanced 5th graders to score above 240, so I would not worry about those percentages. Focus on developing her understanding. If you would rather have a book, there is a set of workbooks that I love through Singapore Math as they are really thinking problems (here is the 4th grade book: https://www.amazon.com/Primary-Mathematics-Challenging-Word-Problems/dp/9812855327/ref=sr_1_2?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1496591055&sr=1-2).  They have them at every level and have the answers in the back that show step by step how to work through each problem, often in multiple ways.

Good luck![/quote]
