[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does anyone take Algebra as a freshman in high school or is Geometry the entry class? Is Algebra 1 considered a middle school class now? [/quote] At my kids' middle school the goal is for kids to take Algebra in 8th grade. Kids in "Math 8" in 8th grade are at the remedial level. The advanced kids are in Geometry, but it's a pretty big group. I wasn't thrilled with the push to get to algebra in 7th (I don't see the benefit of pushing it down) but math is my son's main strength in school. I was concerned that holding him to math 6 in 6th grade rather than math 7 would be 1) boring and 2) make him feel like he isn't as good at math as he really is. It's worked out fine, he's done well throughout middle school and I'm sure will do fine in Algebra II/Trig in 9th grade. He'll have a variety of options for an additional math class in senior year, after calculus. [/quote]
