[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does your kid LOVE math? Does it come extremely easy to them? Are they gifted in other areas? Then do the most advanced track. Otherwise I recommend Algebra in 8th. High school math becomes extremely challenging and kids really must enjoy the process & work independently from parents. ie- no handholding from mom or dad. [/quote] Yes to all of this. They need to love math and want to works at it. I’m a HS math teacher and have 9th graders in H Alg II every year who don’t really want to be there. They come in looking scared when they see the huge older students and tell me that math is their least favorite subject but their parents made them take advanced classes in middle school. It’s different when they are a 9th grader sitting there who is easily grasping concepts and a hard worker who likes math. [/quote]
