We have spring teacher conferences in a few weeks and my DH and I are trying to come up with the best strategy to advocate for some differentiation in math for our DS7 or at least a broadening of the curriculum that he is learning in class in his homework.
About a month ago, our DS grade accelerated to 2nd grade. Our DS�s fall math MAP was 217 and his Broad Math on the WJIII was 147. So, right now, we are still really concerned about the math curriculum, especially the homework - everyone does the same sheet � it takes DS about 5 minutes to do and it is nothing but busy work. We don�t want to spend a ton of time on math home work, we just want what he is doing at home to be more appropriate for his math readiness.
How do we make the teachers understand his numbers (they don�t seem to) and realize what they mean in terms of his math ability and readiness level?
