His Math I MAP score was 184; his math II MAP score was 166. According to them, Math I is more computation and Math II is more reasoning. They want his Math II score to be at 180 before they'll pull him for first-grade math. The MAP test was the Map for Primary Grades -- K level.

His WIAT math reasoning score was 146 (99.9 percentile) and his math composite score was 150 (>99.9 percentile). Interestingly, his math operations score was lower on that test, at a 135 (99 percentile).

Now that I've thought about it some more, though, his MAP scores were all over the place -- one of his 'score ranges' was 146-168, and his compuation was in the 220s. I don't have the results sitting in front of me; I have to get a copy tomorrow. But doesn't that make sense for a child who doesn't have any "formal" math training? And he took 20 full minutes to do each section ... doesn't that mean the computer was having difficulty narrowing down where he actually is?

The other thing is, by the time he finished, he'd been sitting in front of a computer, with head phones on, for 40 minutes. That's a long time when you're 5 and you don't really care ...

We also, according to the principal, cannot get his full report until they have a batch to send in -- she said we couldn't get it until the rest of the Kers took the test in January. Does anyone know if that's true?
