Tell that to my math whiz kid!!! LOL!
The Pentathlon is actually 8 weeks of intensive math problems... 5 given each week. It's incredibly difficult - and that's why it's "district wide." I keep reminding him that 80% of the kids in the entire DISTRICT didn't score as well as he did.
On another note......
He brought home all results from standardized and MAP testing today. He experienced a 17% growth in math, and a 16% growth in reading. His scores placed him in the 94th percentile in Math... and the 97th percentile for reading...
in the entire country!!!! The same testing, in 3rd grade, placed him in the 73rd percentile for each.
I'm constantly amazed by his academic achievements. =) I can't even BEGIN to tell you how proud I am.
