[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Due to a summer move, my son is going into a 6th grade AAP class. He was not in AAP previously (we chose not to send him to the center school and our base school had no LLIV), although he qualified in 3rd grade. The new teacher was a little concerned about him missing some of the math content, so I was wondering if anyone else has gone from a 5th grade non-AAP school to a 6th grade AAP class. We are specifically wondering what skipping a year of math content will do. He took the 5th grade math SOL in 5th grade, and will take the 7th grade math SOL in 7th grade. What is covered in 6th grade that he will be missing? [/quote]

If in fact he is going from 5th grade gen ed to 6th grade AAP he will be behind but if good in math will catch up.  If he is going from 5th grade to 7th grade AAP do not do it unless he is some kind of math prodigy.  Advanced math curriculum in fairfax county a 5th grader takes the 6th grade test and a 6th grader (a critical year because 6th grade places advanced 7th grade math groups) will take the 7th grade  testing plus an algebra aptitude test.[/quote]
