[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Depends on the kid.

I would really make the call based on test scores. have the SOL & Iowas where they want them. If boarderline, waiting one year is well worth it. Math should simmer like a good chill. We don't do enough of just "playing" with the numbers.

But if your kid got 600 SOL and 99 iowas let them take the Algebra.

As a math teacher I love that, letting it simmer like chilli. It's different for every kid and it's s bit crazy we are trying to predict a 6th graders senior year in HS. Alg in 7th gives them a chance at BC calc IF it's the right fit and they continue with that course of studies. Alg in 8th still gives them Calc AB in HS.  It depends on your child.  Depending on where you are you may have different IB options or AP stats too.  How is this year going? More time to develop a strong foundation is always better. As a parent myself I always feel we push children too fast and what's the rush?  I don't like when my students make decisions simply trying to predict college credit based on AP/IB scores or say their parents forced them ahead because they thought they would go to TJ. [/quote]

Algebra Honors in 8th can track to BC Calc senior year if they take Honors the whole time.  Algebra Honors in 7th tracks to Multi Var and Matrix Algebra senior year (BC Cal is taken junior year).  [/quote]
