Switching math class in middle school?

[Anonymous]

My child took accelerated math in elementary in 5th grade (Math 5-6). Scores were high and grades were good but child hated doing homework and sometimes rushed through work. I think it was a developmental phase. We decided to go to the 6+ in. 6th grade at the recommendation of the teacher because of attitude towards homework.

Child now regrets getting moved out of advanced math. Is there any chance of moving back up this year? Has anyone ever moved up a level during middle school?

No harm in asking and advocating for your child. It really depends on the school and counselor/principal.

...as if his attitude toward homework would have been better in a slower class...

Definitely call tomorrow because that condo require a rejiggering of the entire schedule. If you are lucky, his 6+ class is scheduled for a period that also has AIM.

But he should know that AIM moves faster than compacted math. It compacts 2 years into one, rather than 1.5 years into one.

The newer curriculum version is AMP 7+, which I believe moves at a similar pace as 6+.

It doesn't move at a similar pace as 6+, it assumes you already know 6+, so it includes the 6+ content. If you didn't already learn 6+, it is a faster pace than spending a while year on 6+ before looping back around.

This covers the units per marking period in each of the math classes:
