[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow, I just checked ParentVue and was surprised it was under Course Request (I'm not the OP, but similar situation). Thanks PP! We had heard nothing about this. Glad to see that it has all the courses we had requested (band and foreign language selection.)

Son is listed as being in Accelerated Math 7 Plus. That's the next one after AIM, right? I know he scored over 260 on the last MAP-M but haven't discussed this with his teacher or MS counselor.[/quote]

Same person as above. Or is Accelerated Math 7 Plus instead of AIM? He's completing Compacted Math 5-6, so should be in some form of a 7th grade curriculum for math...[/quote]

That’s not AIM. AIM is Applied Investigations into Mathematics and basically covers 7th and 8th grade math in one school year (6th grade). It sounds like it’s AMP 7+ which is a slowed down articulation pattern alternative to AIM. My understanding is you could still get to Algebra in 7th after AMP 7+ but I recommend you check with the school. His map score is definitely high enough to be in AIM. [/quote]

Ah OK. Just didn't make the connection that it's AMP 7+... Duh... He's had some Bs on some subparts of the quarter grades (not on the overall quarter grades though) but scored way higher than the 99th percentile the last 3 times so he's not in the most advanced option I'm gonna be pretty annoyed and essentially (nicely) yell at them until they move him... The course description does say: "This advanced course follows Accelerated Math 6 by including the remaining grade 7 standards and all grade 8 standards." So if they finish all the 8th grade standards what course would follow AMP7+ if not some form of Algebra?[/quote]
