[quote=Anonymous]There are probably more recent threads on this topic, but this is the one I found with a search, so reviving this to ask further.

Can any others parents whose kids were on this track chime in about how it worked out for their child taking AAP 6th grade math in 5th grade, and Algebra I Honors in 6th grade? Or how you made the decision to go this route or not?

We got a letter home this week about having our 4th grade son take an assessment test this summer for possible placement into AAP 6th grade math next year as a 5th grader. I don’t think of him as a math whiz, but he’s definitely bright and loves math, and he was SUPER proud to bring home that letter and show it to us.

He’s 2E with ADHD and likely ASD (not diagnosed by developmental Ped, but categorized as ASD on his IEP based on the school testing and evaluation in 1st and 4th grades). To my knowledge he doesn’t need or get any support during math, just in-class support for starting/staying on writing tasks, small group environment for testing, and pull outs for social skills development.

If he does well on the assessment, I’m not sure yet what would be the right thing for him - and of course it’s a conversation we should have with the school. (I also didn’t know if AAP would be right for him, but the school assured me it was, and he has done great with it.) I guess I’m just looking for information or feedback from other parents who have been in the same spot. Thank you![/quote]
