my 9 yr old (yr4) is very able at maths and his teacher sent a note home tonight saying that he had given my son a yr5 maths SAT and he was only 2 marks off grade 5B.
He sates he is 2 levels ahead of his year group.
now the tricky bit....
He goes on to say that he feels that next yr (yr5) he should do yr 6 maths AND do his KS2 maths SAT a year early.
what i want to know is is that a good idea...the doing sat early...he has a form of autism (aspergers) and maths is definitely his thing...show him something once and he can do it.
however he is emotionally as a 6 yr old at best...and not as able in any other subject.
he is already very isolated at school due to his difficulties with 'social skills'... i'm worried what HE would tell the others of his age....about being with the older kids for maths...as unfortunately..again due to his autism... i know he will rub it in their faces...as part of aspergers is the fact that he cannot imagine how another feels...or that things he says may be hurtful or even that he will get teased.
hope that makes sense?
