[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Back to the original question: I don't think the Math labels are as cut and dry as they used to be. Students are learning Algebraic concepts and problem solving skills in elementary school in an age appropriate way. This is a great way to introduce them to these concepts instead of jumping from number based calculation drills to factoring. So yes, algebraic concepts are being taught in 6th grade at may of the independent schools.[/quote] This. I totally agree with this. Some of the independents schools tailor their curriculum to the students they have in each grade, so it may be different each year, depending on the skill levels of the kids in the class.[/quote]
