[quote=Anonymous][quote]Parent here, so a different perspective... In my experience, kids who were in AAP or otherwise advanced in math in ES typically take Honors Algebra in 7th, not Math 7 Honors. Our MS has already moved to an Honors for all strategy so all 7th graders not enrolled in Algebra or a remedial course take Math 7 Honors. Based on what you've stated about your child, I assume they would be fine.[/quote]

I wholeheartedly disagree - most of the kids in Advanced Math/AAP at our school took Math 7 Honors (which, if we need to put a name to it, is PreAlgebra), even if they scored high on the Iowa. There were a handful in Algebra I in 7th grade at our "all honors" MS.

To answer the OPs question, if you were at grade level in 6th and went to Math 7 Honors, that's still skipping a year of math. Math 7 Honors is still one year ahead in Math, Algebra I in 7th grade is 2 years ahead in Math.

I realize this area (and all these people talking about speed as it correlates to intelligence and passing percentage on the Iowa) is all about push push push but jeez, just let your kid (and more importantly YOU) be happy with where they are. Were YOU two grade levels ahead in 7th grade math? Even in 7th grade, they have a LONG way to go, even to finish high school. If they aren't ready for Math 7 honors and have been happy at grade level up until now, it will be fine. Really, I promise. [/quote]
