5th Grade Regrouped Math Entrance Criteria

Students in the 5th Grade Regrouped Math Program were recommended by their 4th grade teachers to be tested. The following criteria was used to determine placement in Regrouped Math:

 3rd and 4th grade New York State Mathematics Assessments

 AIMSweb Mathematics tests*

 Math average from 4th grade

 Teacher Recommendation Survey

* AIMSweb tests are national tests that every student in Eden Elementary takes three times a year. There is one called MCAP that contains word problems, graphs, geometry, and measurement problems. The other is called MCOMP and it consists of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division problems.

If recommended, the following criteria was used to determine placement in Regrouped Math:

 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade New York State Mathematics Assessments

 AIMSweb Mathematics tests*

 Math average from 5th grade

 Teacher Recommendation Survey

What is Regrouped Math?

Regrouped Math is a math class for students who excel in math AND learn new math skills very quickly AND have a passion for math. Students in regrouped math are expected to master skills after only 1 or 2 exposures, without any extra practice at home. All the practice a student should need to master a skill is done in class.

Regrouped Math Curriculum

As all of the 5th and 6th grade standards will be covered in the students’ general math class, regrouped math will take those learned skills and apply them to solve real-world problems and complete math-based projects. Most of the work will be done in the classroom. Throughout the year, students may also learn and be tested on advanced skills.

TOGETHER we can make the best education possible for your son/daughter!
