[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous](I grew up in another country so please do not roast me if I sound stupid.) Fairfax, Alexandria City, MOCO have pullout gifted programs and they teach 4th and 5th grade math in 4th grade. They take 6th grade SOL in 5th grade and I think they usually take 2 high school math classes (Algebra 1 and Geometry). Can APS kids take Algebra 1 and Geometry classes in middle schools? If so, does that mean they receive 5th grade math instructions in 5th grade, skip 6th grade instruction, and receive 7th/8th combined math in in 6th grade? [/quote]

My child is currently in 6th grade in APS taking pre-algebra.  He had the standard APS math offering for 5th grade and took the 5th grade math SOL.

Based on SOL score, math inventory score and (maybe?) teacher recommendation, for this year (it has been different in past years) there was a choice of Math 6 or Pre-Algebra.  Pre-algebra is a combo of Math 6-7-8 and then Algebra 1 is taken in 7th and Geometry is taken in 8th grade along with their corresponding SOLs.  [/quote]
