[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I will note that doing the same comparisons for 5th grade shows far less change in the FCPS advanced math program of studies. It's very similar between prior years and current year. Looks like 5th graders should still be in a place to take the 6th grade SOL. How they get there I leave to people more in-the-know than I.[/quote]
That is the potential pitfall. If you aren’t covering all of 5th grade by the end of fourth, how does FCPS address this gap when starting on 6th in 5th. It seems like a gap that kids will just magically make up?

A good number of schools start Advanced Math in 5th grade, there is nothing in 3rd or 4th. I don't know specific schools to be able to compare SOL results and the like but a child who is advanced in math should be able to handle 5th and 6th grade math at the same time. Instead of having spirals for the two grade they learn the fifth grade concept followed immediately by the 6th grade concept. [/quote]
