[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What classes do you want your child taking for math in HS? Do you see a need for your child to be taking classes past Multivariate Calculus or Linear Algebra in HS? That is the main question you need to be asking. Most colleges want kids to have 4 years of math in HS, not just 4 years of HS math. Think of the classes that are available to your child in HS and ask yourself if you think your kid legitimately needs those classes.

Is your kid asking to do more math? Some kids do, mine did. I thought it was crazy at first but he legitimately wanted to do more math. He is a rising 9th grader and misses other activities to  participate in math competitions on the weekend, his choice. If that is your kid, then A1H in 6th grade makes sense.

If your kid is good at math but doesn't love the subject, stick to A1H in 7th grade. They will be plenty advanced and you are less likely to have a kid who doesn't want to do more advanced math in HS.

This is good insight. Thank you. He has not found the coursework challenging this year. I don't want him to race ahead in math but also don't want him to be bored. It is a tough call. [/quote]
