[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’ve had one kid who qualified for double acceleration in 5th. They have to have 575 on their 3rd AND 4th SOLs along with the 145+ COGAT and another content assessment. This kid breezed through 7th grade math as a 5th grader (top of the 6th advanced class he was working with), took algebra in 6th, and in 8th he was taking precalc at the high school. (Not sure how he got both geometry and algebra II knocked out in 7th— summer study?)

This was the most mathematically brilliant kid I’ve had in my career (20+ years). I’ve had other kids I thought could have handled the double acceleration, but the requirements are SO stringent it’s almost impossible to meet them. [/quote]

Out of curiosity, what would this kid take their senior year?  Have to go to a college?[/quote]Assuming they're really into math and take one credit per semester when they start DE:

9: calc BC
10: linear algebra and MVC
11: discrete math and differential equations
12: lots of options: analysis, complex variables, a more theoretical linear algebra class, number theory, combinatorics, abstract algebra, etc[/quote]

This. In my district there are about 30 or so kids that that precalc in 8th.  I would say majority repeat it in 9th then continue on with the above schedule.  But all of their required math credits are done by 8-9th grade as it is.  Our high school offers advanced math beyond calculus, but they don’t have to continue to take math all 4 yrs.  Lots will take AP stats, AP economics, or AP computer science junior and/or senior year.  [/quote]
