[quote=Anonymous]I teach both prealgebra and algebra in FCPS to 8th graders. OP, the culture is WILDLY different at different schools. At some schools, everyone from math 7 goes to math 8 (prealgebra) except the absolute tippy top kids who probably should have taken m7h in the first place. In other schools, anyone who passes the m7 sol goes to algebra, and m8 is only remedial students. Without knowing where your daughter is, it’s hard to make a conclusion. I will say two things: 1) they made the standards in m7/m8 much more rigorous last year. The topics are REALLY good prep for algebra. M8 is almost algebra 1 part 1 now. 2) in my experience, a kid who gets a 430 on the m7 SOL can hang in algebra. They will need some help along the way, but they can be successful with a good teacher (and ARI if it’s offered concurrently). A 450 or above usually does just fine in algebra. [/quote]
