- Finally (and perhaps most importantly), should I supplement at my daughter’s intellectual level, or follow along at the pace of her classroom lessons? I gave my daughter the SM placement tests and she breezed through 1A and over half of 1B before she started to run into problems. In addition, her teacher said she’s reading and writing at an end-of-first grade level. At the moment my daughter seems quite happy at school, and isn’t ready socially to skip a grade, so I’m a bit hesitant to do anything that would increase the odds of her becoming bored in class.
Thanks for your help.
I am currently advocating for my DS7 for more challenged math curriculum. The school is not currently providing enough challenge. So I supplement at home using Beast Academy. My concern is more on him not getting challenged. He's already showing signs that he doesn't like anything challenging because "everything should be easy". I want him to struggle sometimes so he understands that no matter how smart he is, there are still things that require efforts and hard work.
