[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How does 6th grade math placement work? My 4th grader is, for lack of a better way to put it, a total math whiz and bored in his compacted math class. The curriculum site lists Algebra 1 as an "other option" for 6th grade. Is that something a kid could test into, or what?[/quote]

If you have a 4th grader now, you should advocate for them to do pre-algebra (AIM) next year, which will set them up for Algebra in 6th. Don't wait another year, start now. [/quote]

Oh wow, I had no idea this would be an option, our principal has been less than helpful when we've asked about options beyond compacted math. How could a 5th grader take AIM though? Would he have to be bussed over to a middle school for one period or something?[/quote]

Yes, 1st period at the MS.  Usually, Middle Schools are more flexible than ESes on this sort of thing because they don’t have the same “once word gets out everyone will want to do it” mentality.  [/quote]
