[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a rising 7th grader and am a bit confused. So whatever Math 7 is this year is changing to Prealegebra next year? So all the kids are skipping whatever has usually been covered in Math 7? I’ve been trying to decide between regular and Honors math for my kid. Worried that prealgebra will be harder than whatever the class would have been about before, which makes me question honors. But then will regular be kids who are really struggling due to the forced acceleration? Mine does well in grade level math. [b]Will the kids who are in AAP math for 6th take algebra next year? [/b][/quote]

They might. Or they will take PreAlgebra Honors. Prealgebra Honors is replacing  math 7 Honors. Kids who were not in advanced math will take regular PreAlgebra in 7th and then probably regular Algebra in 8th.[/quote]

So a kid not being n advanced math in 6th should not take honors in 7th? I am confused because other people here say kids should take all honors if they are doing fine with grade level work. [/quote]

Ask your current teacher. Some kids in regular math in 6th may choose honors math for 7th - it depends how strong they are. There may be some gaps in knowledge if they go for honors and thus many kids who do that prep the summer before or are prepared to put more work in once they are actually in the honors math class.[/quote]
