[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Please ask your middle school math coordinator right now for a placement test into Algebra 1. Some math coordinators try their best to avoid placing 6th graders in that class, but you can always ask for the placement test in the summer.

My kid did that. It was the best decision we made. She was in the most advanced classes her middle school offered in orchestra, language and math, and it was the only way for her to avoid utter misery and boredom. Thank goodness now she's going into high school, where AP courses make it easier to cater to academic kids.[/quote]

If she did Algebra 1 in 6th grade, what did she do for 7th and 8th? [/quote]
7th - Honors Geo
8th - Alg 2, bused to the high school for first period (it starts earlier, which allows enough time to get bused back to middle school second period - bonus, she got used to the high school).

projected path
9th - Honor Precalc
10th - AP Calc BC
11th and 12th - her high school has multivariable with differential equations, and she can also attend advanced math classes at UMD.

She doesn't know what she wants to do in college, but since she has no academic difficulties anywhere, it's nice to open doors as much as possible.[/quote]
