That is where my 10yo placed in the Saxon Math Placement Test. Third grade. Public school was ready to send him off to 5th grade and he hasn’t mastered 4th yet.
I’ve also done a little more investigation into what kind of math program they were using at the public school. They are using TERC Investigations in Numbers, Data, & Space. For more information on TERC, check out this YouTube Video
The math problems my then-4th grader brought home mentioned in my very first blog post….I taught him the Standard Algorithm for Multiplication and the teacher marked every single one WRONG even though the answers were right because he didn’t do them the TERC way.
I feel badly that my son just completed a whole year of 4th grade and didn’t get anything out of it, at least in terms of math progress. It does make me feel good about my decision and ability to homeschool. I mean, I can’t do any worse than they did!
