[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have two children, one in second and one in eighth. The eighth grader is currently taking Geometry. The second grader has pretty high Map-M scores. I have heard of children in 6th grade taking Algebra. What would be the process of getting my second grader on track for Algebra in 6th?  Lastly, is there any possible way for my eighth grader to somehow skip Algebra 2 (I'm pretty confident that they are capable)?

Better to use school as an easy review and enrich and accelerate at home. The benefit is that if school is fully challenging, then if you skip up for a moment you get lost behind. But if you enrich at home, you can go at your own variable pace. Ding two different courses at the same time, one new for fun and one review for GPA, is *great*. You can still sign up for AP tests and math contests.

The kids who are happy in math class are the ones who study ahead of their high-stakes GPA class. 
 
A lot of kids on the Algebra in 6th track regret it.
AIM / AMP7+ is a good preview of Algebra and Geometry.[/quote]
