[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DD is in compact math right now.  She is doing ok. She doesn't love math and I don't foresee her wanting to do Calculus BC.  When she enters 6th grade, [b]can we let her do 6th Grade Math instead of IM[/b]?  Or do we have to take IM?  She is currently in 4th grade at HGC center.  [/quote]

Why would you want her to take sixth-grade math twice?[/quote]

Our DS is in 6th grade right now.  He did compact math and is really into math.  This year was tough for him in terms of math.  I just can't see her wanting to do this also.  Plus, it seems like with common core it is all or nothing.  I would like to have her do 6th grade math in 6th grade and then go to the middle route. [/quote]

If you want her to do sixth-grade math in sixth grade, then the choices are

1. take her out of compacted math now.
2. accept that she will do sixth-grade math in fifth grade and then again in sixth grade.

I don't think that either choice is good, especially if she's at an HGC, where she will be one of only a very few kids (if not the only kid) in the HGC in grade-level math.

But really, my advice to you is: stop speculating about what she might or might not want in the future, and talk to her math teacher about your concerns.[/quote]
