Does anyone have more specific recommendations to thrive in Algebra 1? For instance, would you suggest a 94 IAAT and 511 SOL? |
Algebra 1 is pretty easy, OP. A child with those stats will be fine. You do have to think about what happens down the road. Most kids find Geometry much harder, and it goes up from there. |
DCs found Geometry to be easier and more interesting than Algebra 1, primarily because of its visual aspects and rule-based nature. Algebra 1 becomes easier with increased practice, as does basic trigonometry. However, where complexity starts to kick in is with graphing and inequalities in Algebra 2. |
6th grade AAP teacher here. Did he have all 4’s all year? Does he have strong executive functioning? If yes to both then he should take Algebra. If there is a no, then 7H.
