[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Looking at this old thread and wondering if my soon-to-be rising 6th grader should consider Algebra next year?

Their last MAP-M was around 280. They didn't get picked for the magnet lottery and were mostly bored to tears by Compacted 5/6.

They're supposed to take AIM next year which may be kind of basic for them. The only reason this might be good is they might be more challenged and engaged.

Any advice?[/quote]

DCUM can't answer this for you.  You need to talk to your school.  Not all middle schools allow 6th graders to take Algebra, and they might be especially reluctant now, given that the kids haven't gotten the complete math curriculum this year.

When you talk to the school, ask them what would happen when your child is in 8th grade and in Algebra 2.  Will you be responsible for providing transportation to the high school for math?  Will there be a bus?  Are there enough 6th graders taking Algebra 1 that there is likely to be an Algebra 2 class taught at the middle school?  Then you need to consider, if you will need to provide transportation, is that feasible for your family?[/quote]
