[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP what grade bump does Honors give?[/quote] It adds 0.5 to the course points. So an A is 4.5 instead of 4. Colleges recalculate though, so YMMV what it’s actually worth in 5 years. OP, ask your child her thoughts. I taught both honors and regular algebra 1 for 8th graders for years. While some kids were clearly more capable math students, many of the ones who were successful were the ones who wanted to put in the effort beyond class time and learn. They did the extra problem sets, sat with challenge questions instead of waiting for answers, and asked questions as they worked through material. An A- student in math 7 honors should be fine in algebra honors, if m7h did the suggested extensions. If they just taught the basic prealgebra curriculum, it will be a bigger stretch[/quote]
