Math 7+ covers the 2nd half of 7th grade math and all of 8th grade. It puts kid on track for Algebra 1 in 8th grade (a year early).

They may ask your kid to take an assessment if you are trying to get your kid into an accelerated class (7+ or algebra).

"Advanced" English is on grade level and has texts that are below grade level included. Nothing advanced about it. Just warning you.

If your kid is advanced at reading/writing, try to get them into Historical Inquiry into Global Humanities (HIGH). That has a couple of books added in and a History Day project.

Sort of/mostly. The combo of 6+ and 7+ covers the 6th, 7th and 8th curricula in compacted fashion. With the spiral nature of the MS curriculum, where elements get covered more than once, with review & greater depth as you go, they combine these and rearrange them across the two accelerated courses to achieve compaction/manage the rate. While a lot of 6th and the first half of 7th remains in 6+ and a lot of the second half of 7th and 8th remains in 7+, it's not straight line.

There are curricular guides that mighy help if you know the common core material that your DC already has covered:

AMP 6+ https://im.kendallhunt.com/MS_ACC/teachers/1/index.html

AMP 7+ https://im.kendallhunt.com/MS_ACC/teachers/2/index.html

So if a child is in 6+ and covers all of 6 and half of 7 and then goes to algebra, when do they cover the latter half of grade 7 topics?

If they do that they will miss some 7th grade topics and all of the 8th grade topics. That's why that is generally not allowed.

Nope. The topics are the same each year, reviewed and deepened. Kids move on to algebra when MAP-M shows they get it.

That's not the case in MCPS -- they don't move kids up to algebra from 6+.

Wrong. My son and several of his classmates just finished 6+ and will be in algebra in 7th

MCPS with its inconsistency across schools, again...

Do principals have a leadership role or are they just mouthpieces of CO?
