[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If my son is taking IM as a 5th grader, will he have to repeat next year (if he gets in).  Someone just told me that all 6th graders at the magnet take Magnet Math which is basically IM.  Thanks.[/quote]

It's not true that [b]all[/b] TP-magnet 6th graders take Magnet Math, instead this is the assigned math course for those who took either Math 6 or Math 7 in 5th grade; the few who took IM as 5th graders are placed in Magnet Algebra I.  [/quote]

This is very interesting.  In our middle school most kids who were accelerated in Math (Math 7 in 5th grade) skip IM and take Algebra in 6th grade.  I have often wondered whether this was advisable.  If the Math magnet has them do IM between Math 7 and Algebra, this would seem like a wiser choice.  It sounds like the magnet program believes that IM is a good course to take before tackling Algebra.
Thanks for the post - it will help me decide on the appropriate placement of dc next year in 6th grade.[/quote]
