DS is also in 1st grade. He got pretty much the same math MAP score (230), but much lower on reading (207), and, oddly, the same lexile range? DS is ID'd as gifted, but only an IQ test can tell you for sure if a child is gifted. I know that at some schools MAP scores can be used for entrance into the gifted program, ranging from 95%ile to 99%ile cutoffs that I have heard of.
We use Beast Academy for math and have gotten the school on board with it as well. I think it's a great program and it's really fun for DS. My son's favorite challenging stuff to do in his free time includes: Pinwheel Paintdoku, Sokobond, World of Goo, Loop, nonograms, and sudoku.
