[quote=Anonymous]OP, keep in mind that the math curriculum spirals a lot. Your kid won't be skipping a year of material. He'll just be skipping one spiral. The school's thought is that kids who score above a 500 on the math SOL won't need the extra repetition and the smaller jump in difficulty that they'd see with regular 6th grade math. If your kid was planning to take Algebra in 8th grade, moving up to 6th grade AAP math is the right call. Your child will be much better prepared with 6th grade AAP math, then M7H, and then Algebra than he would be with regular 6th grade math followed by skipping a year up to M7H in 7th. Also, if he does really well with the skip up, he has some chance to qualify for Algebra in 7th. [/quote]
