[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How much does your kid love math?  Maybe have your kid look at an AMC 8 test or a Mathcounts chapter test.  If your kid is excited by the problems and wants to try to complete the test, then I'd go forward with 6th grade Algebra, but also supplement with AoPS or RSM.

If your kid thinks the test looks tedious and they don't want to sit down and do math problems, then your kid likely doesn't *love* math.  That's fine, but I'd stick with 7th grade Algebra.  Next year might be boring, but your kid won't be stuck taking 2 years of post-AP calc math in high school.

Here's the most recent AMC8:

Mathcounts has old tests here: https://www.mathcounts.org/resources/past-competitions[/quote]

This is really helpful. Thanks! I took a look at the AMC8 test and my guess is he will enjoy doing this. He likes problem solving but does not want to be involved in math competitions. I am looking into AoPS. We are too far to attend the in person classes but I see that they have a Prealgebra workbook I might get him.
