[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you look on the Illustrative website there's an explanation of the condensed version so the content of grades 6-8 is done in two years. Faster pace but also less built-in review.[/quote]

Can you link? All I see is accelerated 6-7. Is the idea that 7th is prealgebra?[/quote]

There's not really any specific thing called "Pre-Algebra" in this curriculum. They learn the 6th-8th grade curriculum over two years. You can call the second half or the third third "Pre-Algebra" if you feel like it, I guess. [/quote]

So if my kid isn’t getting through the 8th grade Illustrative Math in 7th  he won’t be ready for algebra in 8th? [/quote]

Well, I think if your kid's bright enough to take Algebra I in 8th, he'll probably be able to figure it out despite not taking 8th grade math. Whether the school will allow him to take Algebra I is a separate question.[/quote]

That’s what I’m failing to understand. Doesn’t the content build on itself? It seems like you shouldn’t just be able to skip content because you are “bright”? [/quote]
