Hello everyone,
I have found so much valuable information on this site. I have been lurking for a while and just joined yesterday. This is my first time posting to a discussion forum. My DD9 is in 4th grade at a private school. She loves math and is bored with the pace of her school's program. She has always been very quick with learning new math concepts. After something is explained once she gets it, then hates having to do repetitive worksheets on "easy" math. She scored in 99th percentile on the Quantitative Reasoning and Mathematics 1&2 sections of the ERB CTP 4 standardized test last may. In first grade she had the WISC IV and scored 125 on the Perceptual Reasoning Index (95th percentile) but quit a bit lower on the Verbal Comprehension Index. I have enrolled her in the NUMATS and JHU CTY talent search programs, so she will be able to take the SCAT and EXPLORE in January. I was also considering the EPGY online math courses. Her school does not offer any acceleration at all. They do allow me to work with her at home after school, but she is not keen on the idea of doing extra work during the week. She is working with a tutor one hour a week out of a 5th grade math review book and is progressing quickly. Does anyone know if the EPGY group formed here is accepting new students? Thank you for all of your helpful posts.
