[quote=Anonymous]My son did advanced math in elementary school and qualified for Algebra 1 in 7th grade based on the IOWA and his SOL scores - but only barely. We decided to do Math 7 honors instead. He'll do Algebra 1 honors in 8th grade. We decided there just wasn't a rush, and even though he really enjoys math, we weren't sure how hard the transition to middle school would be generally. We also heard from many families whose kids had done well in Algebra 1 but then had a really hard time in geometry and Algebra 2 and sort of flamed out from there. Just too many gaps in foundational knowledge if you move too quickly. I think he will be interested in a STEM college degree, but getting through calc in high school should be sufficient, I would think. [/quote]
