Similar, sadly.
My DD9 is skipped into 5th grade with daily GT pull-outs for math and ELA, so effectively, this should be a two-grade skip. She's currently complaining that both pull-outs are doing the same things they did last year.
Long division? AGAIN?
Sure enough, look at CCSS for Grade 6 Math:
http://www.corestandards.org/Math/Content/6/introduction/Really, for 6th grade? Acceleration might not help us, either, then! DD9 is in G&T math this year in a school following the CCSS (she is not yet subject accelerated), and SHE is also doing long divison, again. We have been speculating acceleration might help, but if that is CCSS - they are also doing that in G&T 4th. The "deeper" approach they are taking here is too slow for DD.
Really, the G&T population should be treated like a special ed population, with all of the students potentially needing something different. In our case, we have seen the G&T students all being taught the same thing, and "deeper" is the buzzword this year. Unfortunately, I am starting to hear this as, "slower" or in our case, too slow for DD. We are trying to see if we can improve the fit by working with the school.
