[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][/quote] There's no need to fear monger. Many kids who are regular, bright kids and not math supergeniuses have no problems whatsoever with Geometry in 8th and Algebra II in 9th. [b]If your kid qualifies to take Algebra in 7th and has reasonably high executive function, your kid will be fine on that track. [/b] [/quote] +1 Taking Algebra HN in 7th was great for my son, who is not a math super genius but a regular bright kid. It allowed him the chance to learn how to do a hard class when the rest of his classes were relatively easy. He worked hard at it and is doing well in HS in math now. My younger son is turning out to be more gifted in math but I'm inclined to choose the same path for him, not to accelerate him further/younger. [/quote] +2 [/quote] +3 I think success in Algebra HN in 6th or 7th is more correlated to high executive functioning than innate math ability. [/quote]
