[quote=Anonymous]PP, I'm not 14:41, but the point is that while it is FCPS [i]policy[/i] that advanced math is available at all schools, in [i]practice[/i] it is NOT available at all schools. Our base school only had 5-6 kids per year who were eligible for compacted math (this was not a LLIV school) and those kids got "advanced" math as a pullout service, It happened sporadically at best. OP, if your son is moving from a GenEd traditional 5th grade math and not compacted math, then he may have some content to catch up on in 6th grade. The 6th graders in AAP are taking the equivalent of the middle school level Math 7. But unless he struggles in math, I don't think it's a huge deal. He will take the Iowa in January and based on that and his SOL in the spring, he'll place into Math 7 HN or Algebra 1 HN for the following year. You can look at the math FCPS curriculum to see what topics were covered in Math 6 that he may not have covered.[/quote]
