Accelerated Math Group
Starting in 3rd grade at BES, children can either be in a mixed ability math group, or the accelerated math group. Your child is in the accelerated, or top math group this year. This means that your child has displayed an eagerness to work in mathematical processes in the classroom last year. Your child also has shown a natural ability to do mental math quickly and accurately. Your child rarely needs extra help when learning new topics in math. He/she enjoys locating different ways to answer problems, and displays a competitive edge when working on mathematical topics. Extra work in Math isn't a hindrance, but a joy. Last, your child also scored well on our 3rd grade benchmark pretest.
What to Expect in an Accelerated Math Class
In an accelerated math class, expect your child to complete math extensions for many math topics we will study this year. Expect more than one homework assignment on most nights, pressing your child to search for more information, noting more ideas, and researching on his/her own, too.
