[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are relatively new to FCPS and still trying to get things straight. My questions is, when is the normally advanced schedule (not the super advanced track) for kids to take Algebra early? They need to take the pre-alg in 5th grade or 6th? Thanks![/quote]

Algebra is a 9th grade course.  Taking it in 6th, 7th or 8th are all considered advanced.  As you can see, taking pre-algebra is only needed if they take Algebra in 6th or 7th.

Because Algebra is a high school course, if your child take it in 6th grade and get a B, that grade will follow him/her all the way to college application.

If you don't want to share the private information of your child here, your best course is to talk to your math teacher in FCPS.

Algebra should only be allowed beginning in 9th.[/quote]
Certainly, it's true for some students. However, others should have the opportunity to take algebra 1 as early as 6th grade. Each child is a unique creation of the Almighty, with some naturally inclined to be precocious while others develop at a different pace.[/quote]
