[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have no idea whether my rising 7th grader will want to go down a STEM path or where she will want to go to college. I’m worried about her learning what she needs to do well in algebra 1 when she finally takes it. I have heard that Math 7 honors is a better preparation for Algebra 1 so I’m wondering if I should push for that even though my child took regular math in 6th. On the flip side, im worried that she will be overwhelmed in math 7 honors because she only took regular math in 6th… [/quote]

What did your child’s Teacher recommend? If they recommend 7th Honors, then go that route. If they recommend regular 7th, I would ask why they are recommending that.

Kids in Advanced Math and LIV AAP normally end up in 7th Honors or Algebra 1 Honors in 7th grade.

Kids in regular 6th grade math can end up in 7th or 7th honors. I would guess that kids who get a 4, are scoring in the 90th percentile on the math iReady, and Pass Advanced on the 6th grade SOL are the ones who end up in 7th Honors while the rest of the class takes regular 7th grade math. But that is a guess.

I have friends whose kids were in 7th grade math and ended up taking Algebra 1 Honors in 8th grade. I have friends whose kids took 7th and 8th grade math and Algebra in 9th. It depends on the kid. [/quote]
