[quote=Anonymous]So, with the elimination of Math 7 for 6th graders, the only 2 options now for the rising 6th graders are Math 6, or Pre-Algebra for 6th Graders (SOL 6-7-8), with only the latter leading into Algebra I (intensified). Does anyone know -- approximately what percentage of kids are getting placed in Pre-Algebra? My son was recommended for Math 6. He is strong in math and was identified as GT in 5th, but I'm sure a lot of his peers were too. I know I can reach out to the county to learn more about why he was placed as he was, but I wondered if anyone here has more information about how many kids are in this new Pre-Algebra track. If it is truly only for the super-gifted math superstars, then I probably won't worry about it, but if we are talking 20-25% of the class, that is a different story and I would like to dig deeper into the recommendation. Appreciate any insights people might have.[/quote]
