His teacher said that the target score for 2nd graders at the end of the year on the math Map was 191. That seems low to me given the percentiles chart I have, but I also know that first grade percentiles are listed as "based on samles that were NOT stratified to reflect the U.S. school as population." So, I don't know if that goal is only for the our school district or if it is a reasonable goal for all second graders. I also don't know if that means that most of the 2nd graders in our district obtain that score, or 50 percent, or less. I do know that, in our district, the 1st graders do not take the math MAP. And, eventhough I know that my DS seems to be farther ahead in math than my higher-level gifted DD was at the same point, I do not have DD's math scores to compare to (she took a different test). Does that help?


She thought she could, so she did.
