[quote=Anonymous]For the OP, the answer appears to be "Yes" and "No."

The traditional advanced math that results in a skipped Math grade appears to be going away, so "Yes," but FCPS can call E3 Math or any other curriculum "advanced" and the answer is "No."

It's clear they are getting rid of compacted math though which is one of the previous advanced math tracks. They say it on their website:

"The mathematics curriculum is being enriched and expanded to include extensions that allow students to develop critical thinking skills and develop a deeper understanding of mathematics that will better prepare them for upper level mathematics in high school and beyond. The current learning gaps that exist in compacted mathematics, created by selecting only certain standards, are being closed allowing students access to all standards. [b]Compacted mathematics will become advanced mathematics [/b]to be more representative of the rigor in the program. The advanced mathematics curriculum will be available in all elementary schools including Advanced Academic center schools."

If you are interested in acceleration that allows higher level Math earlier in high school by starting Alebgra in 7th, you will probably have to supplement. [/quote]
