[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are having my 2E 6th grader prep for the IAAT so that they can do their best. We probably won’t have them take algebra in 7th grade, even if they qualify, though. When I was growing up, you only had to take 4 years of high school math so if you were accelerated and took 9th grade math in 8th grade, you didn’t have to take math senior year. In FCPS, you have to take 4 years of math in high school, so if a student is too accelerated, they will have to keep taking harder math in their junior and senior years. Doesn’t seem worth it for a kid who doesn’t love math. [/quote]

So for the kids that take algebra in 7th grade, presume they take calculus BC as a junior.  If that’s right, what do they take as a senior and can they take it at their schools or do they have to do online or go to a college close by?  Thanks,[/quote]

Schools have classes for kids in this position, it is not exactly uncommon. A quick look at South Lakes High School lists Multivariate Calculus and Linear Algebra, both listed as college level classes. There are also Data Science classes, IB Math Application SL and HL (Looks like Stats and probability at a higher level) as well as IB Computer Science classes. So there are plenty of options for students. [/quote]
