I just wanted to update where we are now. You are all so helpful and it is so encouraging to be able to talk with other parents with similar experiences! So thank you in advance! DS6 goes to a 3rd grade classroom for math now (mid-year switch) and absolutely loves it. He went from addition fact families to learning about fractions, which is fun and new to him. So far, that's a success.
I just got his winter MAP-P math scores and he had a big jump. He went from a 218 in the fall to a 246 this winter. The school had inquired about him taking the MAP 2-5 test and was told it wasn't necessary, that he could stay at the MAP-P because it would self-adjust. It looks like that score is 99% for 5th grade and 90% for 7th. I feel it would be more accurate if he took the same test as the other 3rd graders in his math class. What is the best way for me to find out where he really is in terms of needing math instruction? While he is happy in 3rd grade, his teacher seemed to be implying that based on his MAP-P we might need to make a different long-term plan.
