[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The pre-algebra offered to sixth graders is so watered down that it leaves them at a disadvantage later. I wish they would force the younger kids into the real classes with older students and see if they can actually keep up. Then crazy parents might realize Little Johnny isn’t so advanced after all.[/quote] The sixth graders taking pre-algebra are the strongest group of pre-algebra students and post the strongest results. They would be the strongest students if mixed with older students as well. All pre-algebra students take the Math 8 SOL in APS so you can compare results for the different ages/grades. Of the 8th graders taking pre-algebra, roughly half fail the SOL and almost none pass advanced. For 7th graders taking pre-algebra, 20% pass advanced. For 6th graders taking pre-algebra, 50% pass advanced. [/quote]
