[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]None, they are covering 7th grade math in LIV/Advanced Math in 6th. The big difference is that they are moving into a HS paced course and the Teachers will expect them to keep up with that pace. I have a friend with an 8th grader taking Algebra. She said her child complains about the 7th graders all the time because they are not organized, don’t have the right materials, and it slows down the stat of class. The kids are able to do the material but they are less together. My friends advice to me was to work on that with my child if they end up in Algebra as a 7th grader. [/quote]
Equitable math can only be achieved if we slowdown just a bit. Far too many are enrolling in Algebra 1 in 7th.

The number of kids enrolling in Algebra 1 in 7th grade is pretty small. Last I looked the AAP centers are at or just below 200 kids and they are pulling from multiple schools. Most schools have 30 or fewer 7th graders in Algebra 1. [/quote]

Is this correct?  Our MS (which is not a center but I thought they had rolled out LIV to every MS and were basically done with centers) has 2 7th grade Algebra I classes and 2 8th grade Geometry classes, so 50-60 7th graders in Algebra I.  [/quote]
How is this possible for so many 7th graders to breeze through Algebra I, when my 8th grader in same class is needing a tutor? [/quote]

Why are you assuming from the number enrolled that they are breezing through it?

I'd guess a handful of kids are and the rest are struggling.

Personally I breezed through Algebra 1 in 7th and then really struggled in Geometry and Algebra 2.[/quote]
