Hi all,
DS9 skipped 3rd and did 4th in 2008-2009. He did 6th grade math with his teacher and algebra with me at home.
At the end of the year, he took two standardized math tests: 4th grade and 6th grade. Scores on both were very high ("Total math score" on 4th was 99th percentile and was 98th on 6th).
For full disclosure, I'm going to add that his computation score was high but not super high (concepts/applications score was off the scale). This issue being addressed over in the
homework thread that I started.
I don't understand if either of these tests constitute above-level testing. I mean, if he was in 3rd grade like his age would imply, then both tests were above-level.
But...he was in 4th grade, so was the 4th grade test in-level? But...he did 6th grade math in school and algebra with me, so was the 6th grade test in-level or below-level?
Calling a 6th grade test "below level" for a 9-year-old seems strange.
Help!
Thanks.
Val
