[quote=Anonymous] What are the big differences. Our child was recommended for Math 7 Honors this year, but we opted for Math 7 to keep things light and fun. He gets perfect scores, but it takes work. He is not naturally gifted in math. I was told next year the kids from math 7 go one of three ways Math 8, Algebra or Algebra Honors, but honors is rare. We are not interested in Honors, but wonder if even Algebra is a bit much since you skip Math 8. I notice in Math 7, they don't do many extensions and they keep things simple. I wonder how well it truly prepares them for even regular Algebra. Also, what is Math 8 like? We are not of the mentality of rush, rush, rush. Our kid is not bored in Math 7 and actually feels confident and loves math because it is the one class he finds easy. I am just wondering if it is worth it to skip Math 8, even if a student is strong. He doesn't get bored when things are easy, he just has more time to focus on other subjects.[/quote]
