Hi everyone. I am the parent of what I consider to be a very bright 3rd grader. She recently scored a 219 in Mathematics (NWEA MAP) which places her at the 95th percentile for instructional level (MAP doesn't score ability). We are in Indiana, in one of the "top" school districts but my daughter finds the curriculum to be "too easy". She is doing 4th grade work, without prompting, on websites like IXL. I have approached the school about moving her into the "challenge math" program, but they are not very receptive to the idea... stating that they would like to see if she continues to do well.
Do you have any advice for me? Should I attempt to press the issue further, listen to the school, get her tested independently for ability (IQ?), change school districts?
Thanks for any advice you can give. It makes me sick to my stomach that every math quiz and test that she brings home is an A and she complains that everything is "too easy".
