[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What are the math options to take senior year if your child takes Algebra in 7th?[/quote] Most AP schools have classes - either stats or comp sci or multivariable calculus. IB schools - the path is less clear. At our base school it was an off campus course, an online course, or a stats class. Not great options in my opinion and that was pretty disappointing. Algebra I in 7th is certainly the "mainstream" for the AAP kids but in some cases it feels like the road to nowhere. Especially when there are so many studies showing that a firm understanding of Algebra I is critical to future high level math success. Just for full disclosure, I'm fully on the crazy train with a kid at TJ and a kid in Alg I in 7th probably heading towards an IB school. But I still question the wisdom. As do the 7th grade Algebra I teachers at our school.[/quote]
