What's his PSI score? Is he like my son: deep but not fast?

How much does speed actually matter in 5th grade math? It has been too long since I was there... If he has the concepts and can do the work, but it takes him 20 seconds to do the problem instead of the 10 seconds that it takes the other kids, does that really matter?

If not, then I think you could make the case that the fluency score shouldn't preclude a math skip, provided you present it appropriately.

Just a thought--feel free to ignore! smile
