[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] I agree the MCPS math for 4 and 5th grade is bad ( both at HGC and home schools). However, the point is that if a child is not in the Compacted Math starting in 4/5 grade then they will not be taking IM in 6th, Algebra in 7th etc as it tracks forward through high school. - they will never be able to "catch up" and be placed in the with the more advanced math kids in their grade. Not all kids are math focused but for those that are focused on Stem, the 3rd grade selection process really sets the tracking through high school. [/quote] Instead of taking Algebra I in 7th grade and Calculus I in 11th grade, they will take Algebra I in 8th grade and Calculus I in 12th grade. I don't think that this is a disaster, even for a STEM-focused kid. [/quote]
