[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DC was in compacted math in ES and is now a rising 6th grader.  They have been placed in Math 7 (not AIM), and I like it that way.  I don't want them in calc in 11th grade - heck, I don't care if they ever take calc unless it's really mixed with stats.  Calc is interesting (I took AP BC myself back in the day) but really mainly of use for future STEM or social-science folks, and that is not DC.[/quote]

What is the difference between math 7 and AIM?[/quote]

AIM compacts 7 and 8 into a year.

Our school Used to offer math 7 as an option for 6th graders who did compacted math but needed to slow down. However, next year MCPS made out school change it to 6+, which is a lot less desirable because it repeats the math 6 material. I don’t think math 7 in 6th grade is an option anymore.

When I was in school, it was all about when you started Algebra that determined how advanced the course was. When do you start algebra with each of the options? Is it like this:

Math 6: Start Algebra in 8th
Math 6+: Start Algebra in 7th
Math 7: ???
AIM: Start algebra in 6th?[/quote]
