DS9 is now in 5th grade. They have two sections of what they are calling Advanced Math and those students are getting the 6th grade curriculum. Here in MA the 5th and 6th grade standards overlap a great deal.
I was happy that there was finally an option besides the regular curriculum but last week they spent the entire week on place value - Is it just me or does anyone else think advanced math students should only need a day of quick intro/review of place value? I spoke with the teacher at open house and he said that DS was bored but that he needed to catch everyone up. Is it too early for me to seek another option for DS? I realize that the first part of the year is review but how long do I wait to see if advanced math will fill the bill?
Am I getting worked up too early in the game?
