[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Haven’t read every post but chiming in to share my with experience:

My youngest is in 5th grade at one of the 8 ES in the MSMC. My kid is in their second year of compacted math and at fall conferences their math teacher said “I have no doubt they will take AP calculus and it will be in the 10th grade”. Unfortunately, that limits us to ONE HS in the DCC. Then we have to worry about the MS math pathways which are a sh:)tshow. T[b]he ES math teacher said “every MS has a different course they consider to be advanced math. They only ask us if the kid was in compacted math and if they are ready for advanced math[/b]”.

MCPS created this inequity and they need to fix it![/quote]

What the teacher said is not accurate. For 6th grade, math is standard across the county:
- On level is Math 6
- Somewhat accelerated is AMP Math 6+, which covers math 6 and half of math 7.
- Most accelerated is Prealgebra, which covers math 7 and 8 standards.

Kids in compacted math either go onto 6+ or Prealgebra, depending on how they do. Kids in regular grade 5 math either go onto grade 6 or grade 6+.[/quote]
