So the question becomes if your daughter had to do common core math, how would you like her to become accelerated given that nothing in the K-12 curriculum can be 'skipped'. At what point would be best for the subject matter to be taught faster. My experience tells me for kids gifted in math is it's really at the elementary level. [/quote]
I agree. My daughter who's District has a Magnet Program(3rd through 8th) got three years compacted into one in 3rd grade. I think now kids from 1st grade on get grouped by their ability. I'm guessing this would lessen the change with common core and have less of an effect by any junior high implementations. On a side note our District Junior high has a Discovery program which is a step below the Magnet Program but above the regular classroom. For example her Geometry class has magnet kids (7-8), Discover kids (8th) and 8th graders who are good in Math.
