[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Math 6/7/8, AIM, AMP6+ and AMP7+ are all essentially the same, spiraling over the same prealgebra/pre geometry material until the student is mathematically mature enough to graduate to Algebra then Geometry. Nothing is "skipped" on any path, there's just less repetition if you go on a faster track or jump. [/quote]

This makes a lot of sense. When my son came up to middle school, they had him in AMP6+, but they didn't care whether he did the summer packet for AMP, AMP6+, or AIM. He missed out on compacted math because he enrolled into MCPS late in 4th grade and was denied access to compacted math 5/6. They now have him going to Algebra I guess because he has been getting 98%+[/quote]

This makes very little sense to me.  AMP6+ covers only parts of the 7th grade curriculum and none of the 8th grade curriculum.  So now kids are going to skip directly to Algebra??  If that’s the case what’s the point of the compacted 5/6 kids taking AIM which is supposed to cover all of 7th and 8th?  [/quote]
