[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One of the things to consider is what is the "end game" with respect to HS Math. For truly gifted math students (and 20% of a class isn't truly gifted in math), Int. Algebra in 7th and Int. Geometry in 8th make sense. They go onto take Int. Alg/Trig in 9th, Calc BC in 10th and Multi-variable Calc in 11th and I'm not even sure what they call the 12 grade class which I think is duel enrollment and only has a very small handful of kids each year. Even with "only" taking Int. Algebra in 8th grade you can easily get to Calc BC as a Senior. For a lot of kids, taking those higher level math classes in college makes a lot more sense. [/quote] According to the Pathways listed at https://www.apsva.us/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/HS-POS-Pathways-2018-2019.pdf this puts kids who complete Int. Geometry in 8th grade on track for Calc BC in 11th grade (not 10th) with a variety of options for senior year.[/quote]
