DeeDee, it is Everyday Math. His teacher knows he has mastered 1st grade math, but they aren't sure what to do since schedule doesn't work for 2nd grade. She's meeting with VP tomorrow or Monday to discuss.
Cricket2, I didn't know there was such a thing as ability testing. The specialist who did his WPPSI testing in 2010 did the KTEA test last April, but no other testing. Can you elaborate on the ability testing? DS conceptually understands math at a much higher level than his ability to do computation.
DS6 is MG. His full scale IQ is 98th percentile. However, his processing speed is really low (102) compared to his verbal and performance IQ scores. His reading lags far behind his other cognitive skills, and it's made it difficult for me to figure out what his real needs are. If his reading skills were where his reasoning, science, and math skills are, we'd probably be considering a grade skip.
Thanks for the recommendations for online curricula. I'm not sure how well those relate to the unique vocabulary and approaches of the Everyday Math curriculum, but I think our choices are likely to be online learning, or engaging a tutor. I haven't researched online curricula yet and appreciate recommendations.
