Not op, can you give me an example of geometry equation? My kid got high score on geometry area, but I am not sure what that mean.


For a second grader is guess it’s something like identifying shapes.

Is it typical for a MAPS math score to stay relatively the same from test to test at the 2nd grade level? (This is around 95-99%) My assumption is that the kid is rushing through it and not paying a lot of attention to it, but are there other reasons? And does the score actually matter to the individual student?
