[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why does it matter? If you did pre-algebra in 6th and did well, you’ll be in Int algebra. If you did math 6, you will go to math 7 or pre-Alg for 7th. Either of those puts you in 8th grade Alg and you can do Intensified if you want them to in 8th for parent choice. [/quote]

This is not true anymore in APS. Of the kids who take the advanced math class in 6th grade, even if they got an A, they may be recommended for pre-algebra or algebra in 7th, based on SOL & MI scores. And you can’t really parent place if you disagree. [/quote]

The advanced math class in 6th is pre algebra. Although a kid may be recommended to repeat pre algebra in 7th, and should if that’s the recommendation, it wouldn’t be the pathway that most kids take. I doubt there would be many, if any, kids who make an A in 6th grade pre algebra who are then placed in 7th grade pre algebra. That would be strange, and an indication that something was wrong with either the grading or the 7th grade placement. [/quote]
