What options are available for mathematically gifted students?
Eden Prairie has an accelerated math program available for students in grades 5 and 6 at Oak Point. Students work on curriculum that is one year advanced (5th graders work on 6th-grade curriculum, and 6th graders work on 7th-grade curriculum). Qualification for the program is based on standardized test scores, Minnesota Comprehensive Assessment test results, and teacher input. For more details about math in Eden Prairie Schools, see our Math Pathways article and diagram. For options outside the school district, look at the Math options at Beyond the Classroom.
