Map: know that he might not show a level of growth in the next couple of tests and that when they switch tests scores often go down or stagnant. That said, I love MAP and think it has real value. One of my kids never seem to fluctuate % wise and one does test quite a lot. All these things are normal.

For mathy kids, some kids are really interested in going deeply into a subject and some kids focus more progression. We’ve enjoyed many books from Critical Leaning Company and one of my kids really like Newmark Common Core series after a teacher told him dismissively that he had “holes”. Some sections of the grade level books he would skip because he knew but sometimes he would feel in holes.
